Hank Williams Jr. Breaks Silence on Garth Brooks: “Wouldn’t Share Stage with Him”

After years of maintaining a stoic silence on the matter, country music legend Hank Williams Jr. has finally spoken out about his feelings toward fellow musician Garth Brooks.

“I wouldn’t be caught dead on stage with him nowadays,” declared Williams Jr. in a candid statement. “Every time he steps out, the crowd boos. He had to cancel his Vegas residency over it.”

In a bizarre turn of events, Brooks has apparently garnered a unique distinction, according to Guinness World Records: he now holds the record for the most ex-fans who will pay to see him solely for the opportunity to boo. This dubious honor was previously held by Milli Vanilli. For Brooks, it’s another setback in his career’s twilight.

“He’s probably gonna hang it up and move on,” speculated Brooks’s spokesperson, Joe Barron. “He’s got like eleventy billion dollars.”

Williams Jr. joins a growing chorus of country artists who have openly expressed disdain for Brooks. “He did it to himself,” remarked Alan Jackson’s neighbor Jerry, though hindered by a restraining order preventing direct communication with Jackson. “And if there wasn’t that stupid restraining order, I’d run over and tell Alan to tell you himself.”

Jerry, an outspoken patriot with a deep-seated aversion to Brooks, lamented, “He wouldn’t denounce Bud Light, and now I can never listen to Achy Breaky Heart again,” a sentiment shared by many.

As for Billy Ray Cyrus, his response was regrettably unavailable due to prior engagements. However, his spokesperson, Joe Barron, conveyed Cyrus’s gratitude for the mention in print. God Bless America.
