Brooks said he is hopeful that he can resume touring before the end of the year and reschedule those tour dates.

Brooks’ wife, country queen Trisha Yearwood, recently told PEOPLE (the TV Show!) that when she endured a bout with the novel illness, he never left her side even though her symptoms were “manageable.”

“I had what was considered a mild case and I think that’s why we had — we were lucky that COVID didn’t go into our lungs, but that’s probably also why we have more trouble here,” she explained. “It was just no joke.”

“[Brooks] would not stay away from me…” she added of the 59-year-old. “I’m like, ‘Dude, I cannot be responsible for giving Garth Brooks COVID.’”
