Garth Brooks to perform at Biden’s inauguration

Garth Brooks is performing at the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

Brooks announced Monday that he will be singing on-site at the swearing-in ceremony at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. alongside previously announced artists including Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez.

The country singer calls the opportunity a “chance to serve” and “not a political statement, a statement of unity.”

Musician @garthbrooks, who will perform at Biden’s swearing-in ceremony Wednesday, says he’s played for every president since Jimmy Carter, with exception of Ronald Reagan.

“I’m so tired of being divided,” he says on a press conference call.

Brooks also performed at President Barack Obama’s inauguration in 2008, where Biden was sworn in as vice president.

He didn’t share what he’ll sing but did say that it likely won’t be “We Shall Be Free,” because that’s what he sang at Obama’s inauguration.
