On Friday, March 20th, country icon Kenny Rogers passed away from natural causes. The star was 81 years old.

Rogers is survived by wife Wanda and their two children, as well as three children from his previous marriages. The family is planning on commemorating Rogers’ life with a small private service, due to concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and hopes to celebrate in a larger service at a later date to be determined.
