Alan Jackson wrapped up his touring career with an emotional farewell concert at Nashville's Nissan Stadium Saturday night.  After a weather delay, Jackson thanked fans for supporting him through a 40-year career, reflected on chasing his dream after moving to Nashville from Georgia, and reminded the crowd, "I'm not dead," before launching into his biggest hits.  The sold-out show featured tribute performances from some of country music's biggest stars, including Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood and Lainey Wilson.  A condensed version of the concert will air on NBC later this year.

Garth Brooks is reportedly considering selling his music catalog.  The Wall Street Journal reported that the deal could be valued as high as two-billion-dollars.  If finalized, the sale could include the country singer's rights and catalog of recorded music.  It would become one of the largest sales of a single artist's catalog in history. The Recording Industry Association of America recently honored Brooks with the first-ever Artist of a Lifetime award. He is the only artist in history to earn 10 Diamond album certifications.
