The country music legend Kenny Rogers, who had a six-decade career and wrote hits such as “The Gambler” and “Lady,” has passed away at 81, his family confirmed early on Saturday.
Rogers “passed away quietly at home from natural causes under the care of hospice and accompanied by his family,” according to a statement from his management company, SKH Music.
Due to the coronavirus outbreak, his family is preparing a tiny private service, according to the statement.
According to Radar Online, Kenny Rogers, who had to leave public life in 2018, received a bladder Cancer diagnosis in May 2019 at 80.
Kenny is far ill than he has ever been and seems even sicker to his friends, said an unnamed individual close to him.
Throughout his career, Rogers scored 24 number-one songs and won the Country Music Association six times. He had 19 nominations and three Grammy trophies.
In 2013, the same year he received the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award from the Country Music Association, the performer was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
