Kenny Rogers’ legacy will be honored in a new star-studded concert special, Kenny Rogers: All In For The Gambler, airing on Sept. 23 at 8 p.m. CT on CBS and available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+.
Filmed at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena before Rogers’ passing, the special includes appearances from Chris Stapleton, Idina Menzel, Lady A, Lionel Richie, Little Big Town and Reba McEntire performing some of Rogers’ greatest hits such as “The Gambler,” “Lady,” “She Believes in Me,” “Through the Years,” “Lucille,” “We’ve Got Tonight” and more.
The show includes on-stage tributes, anecdotes, and inspiring performances in front of the music icon himself, as he bid farewell to performing and announced his retirement. In a special tribute, Rogers’ dear friend and longtime duet partner, superstar Dolly Parton will take the stage to share touching memories and perform an emotional finale with Rogers.
“Kenny Rogers’ enormous impact on Country music was matched only by the love all the artists and fans showed Kenny on this incredible night. We are so thrilled to share this special with his friends, family and fans all around the world as he will remain forever in our hearts,” share Executive Producers Keith Wortman and Ken Levitan.
