Apparently he had a fall a few weeks ago after wearing his new cowboy boots for the first time. They were found to be faulty with the wrong adhesive being used to hold them together. I guess you could say " You picked a fine time to leave me loose heel."

Sad news, a great innings and some classic tunes. I met the legendary motorcycle racer Kenny Roberts many years ago and he commented to someone else getting his autograph that he was always getting called Mr Rogers! Both legends in their fields! RIP

Little known fact: Rogers was the world's leading authority on distinguishing origami swans from real swans. As he would often say:
You got to know when to hold em Know when to fold em Know when to walk away Know when to run
Real fact: He claimed to have been ranked higher in world tennis doubles rankings than Bjorn Borg.
Anyway, rest in peace Kenny.

It's a shame he had that cosmetic surgery done, something he regretted apparently. He was unrecognisable to his previous self.

Surely not, but did Kenny Rogers sing at Staffordshire County Showground in the 90s? Either that, or it was a Kenny Rogers tribute. The first live music I remember seeing that wasn't at Pontins.
Clips of his songs were played on an obituary, and some of the non-country stuff sounded up my street (I didn't realise he'd done much else). Does anyone have recommendations?
