Garth Brooks Only Misses Inauguration Because of World Tour: "Pray God Will Hold Donald Trump's Hand"

Leah Marieanne Klett : Jan 19, 2017  Gospel Herald

"I'm going to tell you, with this whole presidential thing: We've got one going out, pray for him and his family. And for the president going in, pray for him and his family to guide this nation. Let's stay together." -Garth Brooks

While answering questions on his Facebook live, the "If Tomorrow Never Comes" singer said: "I'm going to tell you, with this whole presidential thing: We've got one going out, pray for him and his family. And for the president going in, pray for him and his family to guide this nation. Let's stay together. Love, unity, that's what it's all about."

Brooks, who performed at Obama's 2008 inauguration, added that he thinks the country needs to become more unified.

"In the immortal words of Martin Luther King, the most durable thing that we've known is love," he continued. "It will always be that way. Again, can't thank the Obamas enough for serving this country, and may God hold Trump's hand in the decisions that he makes in this country's name as well."

Although it was widely reported that Brooks rejected an invitation to sing at Trump's inauguration due to ideological differences, the singer explained that it was nothing personal—he ultimately had to turn down performing on January 20 due to a scheduling conflict.
