Little Rock, Arkansas (CaymanMama.com) — Popular country music star Garth Brooks is downright angry — so angry, in fact, that he’s going to sue.

The “Unanswered Prayers” singer is alleging that his efforts to memorialize his mother’s name at an Oklahoma hospital has gone unfulfilled, and he’s suing the medicall center for $500,000 for breach of contract.

In 2005, Brooks, 47, donated Integris Canadian Valley Regional hospital in Yukon, Okla., the $500,000 dollars to finance a building that would carry on his mother’s name, Colleen Brooks, who lost her battle to cancer in 1999.

However, according to a court filing, Brooks says hospital failed to include the building in a $27 million expansion project, thus leaving CVR in breach of contract.

“Garth’s heart is broken over this,” a source close to Brooks said.

A hospital spokesman insists there was a misunderstanding in the matter and that they look forward to a “swift and amicable end.”

Brooks disagrees; his rep said: “This deals with his mother, the home town and the people he grew up with and is deeply personal.”
