1938-2020: Country singer Kenny Rogers is dead

Rogers died late Friday evening (local time) “peacefully at home, natural causes and (…) surrounded by his family,” the Rogers family said. Initially, only “a small private farewell party” is planned in these times of concern about the coronavirus crisis. The US singer’s career spanned six decades, in which he “left an indelible mark in the history of American music,” as the family wrote.

In his very successful career, especially in the USA, which brought him together with country music icons such as Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson, the musician sold more than 120 million albums. In October 2017, Rogers retired with a furious concert finale alongside colleagues like Parton and Lionel Richie.
