Garth Brooks Wins Million-Dollar Lawsuit
Country singer Garth Brooks has been awarded $1 million in a lawsuit against a hospital in Oklahoma for breach of contract, according to CBS News.
Integris Canadian Valley Regional Hospital agreed in 2005 to build a women’s health center in honor of the singer’s mother, Colleen Brooks, who died in 1999 of cancer. The project never came to fruition and the hospital used a donation by Brooks for other projects, it was argued. The award was made up of Brooks’s original $500,000 gift to the facility and $500,000 in punitive damages.
