Kenny Rogers: The First 50 Years

The Gambler is back with an upcoming television special worthy of his musical legacy – 'Kenny Rogers: The First 50 Years'.

A rollicking celebration filled with music and guest-stars like Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Alison Krauss, Wynonna and The Oak Ridge Boys, 'Kenny Rogers: The First 50 Years' will tape on April 10th at the MGM Grand At Foxwoods and tickets for the event may be purchased starting February 11 at 9 a.m. online at www.mgmatfoxwoods.com.

“When this was first proposed to me as a 50-year celebration, something about that sounded final, and I didn’t want that, so I suggested we call it ‘The First 50 Years,’” Rogers said. “I will tell you this, the first 50 years TV show is gonna be awesome – the next 50 years TV show is gonna be a bitch.”



Fun Fact: 'Islands in the Stream' is the best-selling duet ever!
