Teen solves centuries-old math problem
NASHVILLE, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- Country music star Garth Brooks has announced he will perform a concert to benefit those affected by last spring's flooding in Tennessee.
The event is to take place Dec. 17 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. It will mark Brooks's first performance in the city since 1998.
All of the proceeds from the show are to go to The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, he said.
"I have watched with great pride how the Volunteer State has pulled together to rise above the damage suffered by the floods. It was a small church sign in Hendersonville that changed my life decades ago when I read, 'Character is not created in crisis ... it is revealed.' Tennessee has shown amazing character through all of this and it is an honor to get to be a part of the healing process," Brooks said in a statement on his Web site Thursday. "There will be only one arena show we'll do this year and it will be in Nashville."
