Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton team up for 'Dive Bar'
Garth Brooks has joined forces with Blake Shelton for new single, "Dive Bar."
The track, released to radio stations on Tuesday, will be featured on Brooks' upcoming album titled Fun. The country star has yet to announce a release date for the project.
Brooks uploaded to Instagram a snippet of the song. "Gonna spend the weekend/ In the deep end/ The water's fine, y'all should just come on in/ To the deep end/ of a dive bar," the duo sing.
A music video for "Dive Bar" was filmed recently during Brooks' concert in Boise, Idaho, which featured Shelton as the opening act.

Brooks sat down with Billboard to discuss "Dive Bar" and why he decided to collaborate with Shelton in an interview published on Monday.
"I was watching the ACMs this year and there was one performance that really hit me hard: Blake Shelton's 'God's Country.' I thought, 'I'm feeling something here that's drawing me right into the television.' So I just reached out for him," Brooks said.
"I want to go on record saying I did not think it would sound like this. I didn't know what I was expecting, but I've never heard him sing like that before," he continued.

Michelle Obama, James Corden have star-studded dodgeball match
Michelle Obama and James Corden assembled teams to represent the U.S. and U.K. for a star-studded match of dodgeball on The Late Late Show.
Obama's U.S. team consisted of Mila Kunis, Melissa McCarthy, Kate Hudson, Allison Janney and Lena Waithe.
Corden brought together Harry Styles, Benedict Cumberbatch, John Bradley and Late Late Show bandleader Reggie Watts to represent the U.K.
Obama's team won in the third round after Cumberbatch was left by himself against Janney and Waithe. The U.S. team was then presented with a giant trophy.
Comedic moments included Corden's team taking a tea break at halftime, Cumberbatch and his teammates wanting Obama to sign copies of her book and McCarthy suggesting that the match should be shirts vs. skins so that Styles could play shirtless.
The dodgeball game aired as Corden has taken the Late Late Show to his native England.
Megadeth cancels shows after Dave Mustaine's cancer diagnosis
Megadeth is cancelling a number of shows following Dave Mustaine's diagnosis with cancer.
The heavy metal band canceled the majority of its summer tour Monday as the 57-year-old singer and musician undergoes treatment for throat cancer.
Mustaine, who co-founded Megadeth with bassist David Ellefson in 1983, shared the news in an Instagram post Monday.
"I've been diagnosed with throat cancer. It's clearly something to be respected and faced head on - but I've faced obstacles before. I'm working closely with my doctors, and we've mapped out a treatment plan which they feel has a 90% success rate. Treatment has already begun."
"Unfortunately, this requires that we cancel most shows this year. The 2019 Megacruise will happen, and the band will be a part of it in some form. All up to date information will be megadeth.com as we get it. Megadeth will be back on the road ASAP."
Mustaine said he and his bandmates, Ellefson, Kiko Loureiro and Kirk Verbeuren, are working on a new album, the followup to 2016's Dystopia. He promised to "keep everyone posted" about his health.
"I'm so thankful for my whole team -- family, doctors, band members, trainers, and more," the star said.
Megadeth had several shows scheduled for the summer, including an Aug. 9 performance at the Illinois State Fair.
"While we are obviously disappointed that Megadeath [sic] won't be playing the Illinois State Fair, our main concern is for Dave Mustaine," fair manager Kevin Gordon said in a statement to NBC 5. "We wish him a fully recovery and look forward to having Megadeath back to the Illinois State Fair in the future."
The MegaCruise, a cruise with stops in San Diego, Calif., and Ensenada, Mexico, is scheduled to take place Oct. 13-18.

Which Anchorman actress spent Father's Day at her daughter's 3-hour dance recital?
Christina Applegate and her husband, musician Martyn LeNoble, spent Father's Day at their daughter's three-hour dance recital.
The 47-year-old actress, who is parent to 8-year-old daughter Sadie Grace with LeNoble, recounted the experience during Monday's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
"It was a thrilling three-and-a-half hours at a dance recital, 'cause that's what all dads want to be doing," Applegate told host Jimmy Kimmel. "They hate their daddies, apparently, at this place."
Applegate said she treated LeNoble to brunch and a bloody Mary after sitting through about "4,500" dance routines.
"There was like 4,500 dance numbers. But my daughter was beautiful. Sadie, you were beautiful. You were lovely," she said. "She did two -- she did a contemporary number and she did a ballet number."
Applegate said she also had a surprising experience on Mother's Day in 2018.
"I was like, 'Yeah, all I really want is just, maybe you guys make me breakfast or something in bed or something like that. Get up before me.' Like no, that didn't happen. I was downstairs making breakfast, feeding the animals," the star recalled.
Applegate most recently starred in the TV series Dead to Me, which premiered on Netflix in May. The show is created by Liz Feldman and co-stars Linda Cardellini and James Marsden, and was renewed for a second season this month.
"We're really proud and we feel grateful to Liz Feldman for creating it," Applegate told Kimmel.
