All-Star Celebration To Honor Kenny Rogers Career

Kenny Rogers will gather some of his closest friends to celebrate his retirement from the road. 

All in for the Gambler: Kenny Rogers’ Farewell Concert Celebration will bring together folks like Dolly PartonAlison Krauss, Jamey Johnson, Little Big Town, The Flaming Lips, Idina Menzel to honor Kenny's 60 years in the music business.

The idea for the show came from a comment Dolly made. They sang several duets together, including the monster hit "Islands in the Stream."

"She said 13 years since she and I have been on stage together. She said you can't leave without me and you going on stage for the very last time and singing something."

The all-star show on October 25th at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena will be taped and broadcast at a later date. Tickets go on sale Friday through Ticketmaster. Some of the revenue will go to charity.

More performers will be announced shortly.
