Another country legend has stepped up to take on the ALS ice bucket challenge. Although Kenny Rogers wanted to donate instead of doing the actual challenge, his kids gave him a big, cold surprise!
Due to an untimely bout of sickness, Kenny Rogers has canceled his Valentine's Day performances with the Nashville Symphony, scheduled for this weekend.
Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton are ending the year with their third Grammy nomination. The duo are nominated at the 2014 Grammys for their song 'You Can’t Make Old Friends' and are feeling the excitement as they look toward a potential win.
Jennifer Nettles introduced the Kenny Rogers tribute at the 2013 CMA Awards (Nov. 6). Rogers was honored with the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award, but before he received his trophy, he enjoyed modern acts performing a medley of his songs before joining him in song.
Kenny Rogers' new album 'You Can't Make Old Friends' is a collection of songs as diverse as this legend's career. No two of the 11 cuts could be placed neatly within the same sub-genre of country music. Intense displays of love, hope, anger and patriotism keep the listener pulled forward to hear what will come next.
Kenny Rogers has been a country music superstar for decades, enjoying the kind of longevity that most artists would sever a limb for. As an icon and a legend in his genre, he doesn't need to resort to pulling publicity stunts like Miley Cyrus, daughter of fellow country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, in order to grab (and hold on to) people's attention. So don't expect him to.
