Garth Brooks has released a statement regarding the ongoing discussions concerning his Croke Park appearances.

He said that "it is five concerts or none at all" after Dublin City Council licenced three of the five concerts.

The country singer said: "I can’t thank the people of Ireland enough for how welcome they have made me feel. I have faith that Dublin City Council will make the best decision for the people of Ireland. For us, it is five shows or none at all.

"To choose which shows to do and which shows not to do, would be like asking to choose one child over another.
However this plays out, Ireland has my heart and always will," said Brooks.
