Gooseberry Crumble 5,346 Posted April 5, 2018 https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/lifestyle/country-legend-kenny-rogers-cuts-short-farewell-tour-10105938 Given the announcement that American country and western singer Kenny Rogers has had to cut short his farewell tour due to health challenges .I thought it was high time this big name star of country and western music had his own thread .He certainly deserves one . Yes they are playing down the seriousness of these health challenges but I think it is a timely reminder that its about time he had his own thread . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SC I've thought it for a while but it was only recent events that prompted me to turn thoughts into action like I did when Loretta Lynn had her stroke. It was @YoungWillzupdate on his health that was the nudge actually not your post which just confirmed my own feelings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,977 Posted December 4, 2018 Reminds me during the 08 US election there was a blog called "Things Younger than John McCain" which had listed the likes of Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, shopping carts, etc. Both (1937) are older than Kenny though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clorox Bleachman 2,435 Posted May 31, 2019 "Ailing Kenny Rogers Prepares For Death" Quote Sources have told RadarOnline.com the reclusive 80-year-old country legend is bravely preparing for the end just a year after bladder cancer forced him to retire. Now Rogers — who has been crippled with pain and has not appeared in public since 2018 — has moved into a remote Georgia community and is selling off his assets, saying his final farewells and planning his own funeral, sources said. Well shit, if a source told RadarOnline then it must be true! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrWonderful 481 Posted March 21, 2020 Dead. The AP has the story up. Says he died of "natural causes" while in hospice care. Of course, he had bladder cancer in 2018, and then Radar Online reported he was dying in May of 2019. Also becomes my fifth hit of the year. RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
