Since the release of Kenny Rogers’ first-ever Christmas album back in 1981 titled “Christmas”, Rogers has embarked on an annual Christmas & Hits Tour where he performs holiday favorites and a large selection of hits at concerts across North America.
Rogers announced late last year on NBC’s Today show that the world tour he is currently on would be his final time performing around the globe. So this year’s 35th edition of his annual “Christmas & Hits” tour, with special guest Linda Davis, will indeed be his last. After more than five decades of touring and entertaining the world, Rogers’ farewell tour, “The Gambler’s Last Deal,” is underway and expected to run into 2017 due to popular demand.
Christmas has always been a special time of year to me,” Rogers said. “The feeling I get performing on the Christmas tour is one of the things I’ll really miss about not being on the road. We will be sure to take extra time to cherish some moments on this last go around, and I hope as many people as possible will be able to join us in creating a new set of holiday memories.”
For his upcoming “Christmas & Hits” tour dates, Rogers will perform holiday favorites, selections from his 2015 Christmas album “Once Again It’s Christmas” and of course his well-known hits at concerts across the U.S. The tour currently includes 16 dates.
