Garth Brooks has opened up about his fan base and says they're some of best people in America. He praised the fans during a recent radio interview and gave the example of his massive New York City show in 1997.
"There [were] somewhere between 800,000 and 1.2 million people there, and they've closed down 5th Avenue," he began.
"We're leaving after the gig in the bus, and there's people everywhere, so the bus can only move as fast as the people are walking. There's a cop on horseback, so I open the window, and me and him are talking as we're moving down the street, and he's telling me, of all those people, they had two arrests — out of all those people, in New York, at night, in Central Park," he said in the interview.
"So, I would put the people that come see us against anybody," Brooks adds. "They're just people that want to have fun, sing and love one another, and I dig that."
