加斯·布鲁克斯入驻乡村音乐名人堂

Singer Garth Brooks received country music’s highest honor with an induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame, calling the event “the biggest night” of his chart-topping career.

Oklahoma native Brooks, 50, was inducted on Sunday in a star-studded ceremony featuring musical greats including Bob Seger, George Strait and James Taylor, all of whom Brooks has cited as influences.

“There are big days in your career, like when you join the Grand Ole Opry...and I didn’t think anything would top those. I might have lied. This may be the biggest night of my career. I’m so excited and nervous, and feel so undeserving*, all at the same time,” Brooks said.

The singer is the best-selling solo country music artist in United States popular music history with more than 128 million album sales. He has won two Grammy awards over his career spanning three decades.

Country music veteran Connie Smith was also inducted on Sunday.(SD-Agencies)
