Date added to Kenny Rogers tour
JOBURG - DUE to popular demand, an extra date has been added to the Grammy Award-winning country music star, Kenny Roger's farewell tour, Farewell South Africa.
Rogers is one of the most successful country music artists from the past 55 years, and now he will be bidding South Africa a fond farewell. The tour had one Cape Town date and two Johannesburg ones – but the organisers have been forced to add another show on 17 June at Carnival City. All the other shows are sold out.
The enduring Country Music Hall of Fame member has endeared music lovers the world over with his amazing songs, heartfelt performances, distinctive voice, gift for storytelling and universal appeal.
Rogers has played to millions of fans around the world, performing songs from his catalogue of 24 Number One hits including The Gambler, Islands In The Stream, She Believes In Me, Lucille and many others.
The legend will not be performing alone as he will be supported by some of country music’s finest acts, including the likes of ‘Big Daddy’ Lance James, ‘Queen of Country’ Barbara Ray, ‘Midnight Cowboy’ Clive Bruce and ‘The Killer’ Tommy Dell.
