In 2001, Brooks retired and moved back to Oklahoma to raise his children. In 2008 the President-elect, himself, requested that Garth headline President Obama's Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial. A crowd of more than 300,000 did the "wave" to Brooks' performance of "Shout" while the president sang along. That same year the governor of California asked Brooks to help the state. Garth performed five concerts in two days with the proceeds from 83,000 tickets sold donated to efforts to prevent fire catastrophes. Portions of the live concerts were shown as a TV special, "Garth Brooks: Live in L.A." allowing viewers to donate as well.
In December of 2010, Brooks finished an astonishing nine sold out concerts in six days to raise money for the flood relief efforts in Tennessee. In January of 2012 he was named the best-selling artist of the last two decades by Billboard, Nielson and SoundScan, with a whopping 68.5 million sales. Brooks also sold out his recent appearance at the 100th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede. The sell out 15,000-plus seats happened in less than a minute. Brooks was recently inducted into the International Songwriters Hall of Fame in New York as well as the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. In October he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Performing for his induction were his heroes George Strait, James Taylor and Bob Seger.
On Nov. 29, 2013, Brooks took the night with almost nine million viewers watching his CBS special "Live From Las Vegas." That very day Brooks released his new boxed set, "Blame It All On My Roots," which debuted for the 13th time in his career at No. 1 on the country charts. The boxed set also rose to the top of the Billboard 200 Chart making it the ninth time Brooks has been able to achieve that feat.
In September, Brooks released a new single, "People Loving People." It is his first new single since 2008.
