Garth Brooks Sues Hospital Over $500,000

Garth Brooks has sued his hometown hospital for allegedly not using his $500,000  donation for what he says he and the hospital agreed it would.

The singer says he made the donation to Integris Canadian Valley Regional Hospital in Yukon, Okl.,in 2005, after the hospital promised to name a building after his mother, Colleen Brooks, who passed away of cancer in 1999.

Brooks says hospital officials had courted him for two years, soliciting a donation to honor his late mother. He says they showed him mock-ups of a building in the hospital complex bearing his mother's name in neon lights and planned a ribbon-cutting ceremony introducing the Colleen Brooks building to the public.

But then, Brooks' attorneys say, almost three years after the donation, the hospital told the singer his donation would be "used for what Integris had 'earmarked' the money for, without further discussion."
