Garth Brooks' newly released fourth book of his Anthology series gives fans a raw look at the years he spent out of the spotlight, raising his children in Oklahoma.
Garth Brooks refers to the years raising his children out of the spotlight in Oklahoma as 'life at its best,' but it didn't come without its challenges. In the country music star's newly released book, 'The Anthology Part IV: Going Home,' Brooks recalled being the most 'lost' he's ever been when uprooting his entire life and returning to where he was raised to 'learn' how to be a father.
On Oct. 26, 2000, Brooks decided to announce his retirement from music. He soon moved back to Oklahoma to raise his kids. Storme Warren, a television and radio broadcaster of Brooks' SEVENS Network, was there when Brooks announced his retirement during an emotional press conference.
In his book, Brooks details his divorce with Mahl as the 'roughest time' in his life. 'And I hope it continues to be the roughest. I hope I never have anything worse than that era, right there. That hurt,' he wrote. The former couple bought a piece of land in Oklahoma and both lived, separately, on the property. Brooks lived in a 700-square foot former bunkhouse for five years. 'Sandy and I started exchanging the kids everyday at six.
Brooks' 'The Anthology Part IV: Going Home' was released on Friday. Fox News Digital's Emily Trainham contributed to this report.
