Yes sadly, a RIP thread

 

We all love a bit Country & Western.

 

American country music legend Kenny Rogers has died aged 81.

A family representative said he "passed away peacefully at home from natural causes".

Rogers topped pop and country charts during the 1970s and 1980s, and won three Grammy awards.

Known for ballads including The Gambler, Lucille and Coward Of The County, his career spanned more than six decades.

He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2013 and, that same year, received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Country Music Association.

A keen businessman, Rogers also led several business ventures over the years, mainly in property and the restaurant sector.

 

 

In tribute to the legend, let's post your favourites of him.

Took a gamble going out side?


Why wouldn’t he? Do you think he was the coward of the county or something?

 

RIP Kenny 🙁

I hope someone stepped in to see what condition his condition was in before he went.

 

Great man, some surprisingly great songs. Sad to hear he's gone.

More a Johnny Cash man myself, but Kenny was a great singer and by all accounts a very decent bloke.

 

RIP.

A great song. I remember being shocked when I discovered it was him.

Yeah I know, First Edition had a few great tracks. Psych rock, not usually massively my bag really but Just Dropped In and Ruby were just superb.

 

First heard it in Lebowski, thought who's that by? Kenny Rogers! Really?! And ended up with an album.

 

As said above always seemed a top bloke. Dolly's the same, really great person.
