Garth Brooks says he’s been working on the follow-up to last year’s Man Against Machine album for the last 6 months … but it’s all lost since his iPhone fried.

Garth was keeping all his notes and work on the phone, but he said “All the new stuff which I’ve been working on for six months was on a phone that’s been fried, and I can’t get the phone to come back up. . . It’s like losing your briefcase back in the Nineties!”

Will someone please show Garth how to use the cloud?!
