In the crossover world of country and pop music, few stars have burned brighter longer than Kenny Rogers. Now, as the singer with the distinctively gruff but tender voice gets ready to retire from live performance after six decades, Rogers has announced plans for a final Nashville concert that will also serve as a tribute to his incredible legacy of hits, including “The Gambler,” “Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)” and “Islands in the Stream.”
“It’s going to be really exciting,” Rogers tells Rolling Stone Country of his final Nashville show. “It’s a chance, while they’re doing something for me, for me to say goodbye to these people as well.”
