'ACM Presents: Our Country' featured a star-studded tribute to late country star Kenny Rogers.
due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Sunday's show featured performances from Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, Shania Twain, Lady Antebellum and more, as well as a star-studded tribute to late country star Kenny Rogers, who died on March 20 at the age of 81.
The tribute began with a performance from Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker, who appeared via video chat, and sang Roger's 1977 classic"Lucille," and the iconic 1978 tune "The Gambler." Luke Bryan took over from there, performing Roger's emotional 1979 single"Coward of the County" before sharing,"We love you Kenny. Thank you so much for all your musical contributions. I love you, buddy."
"What stated out to be a great collaboration between two guys, Kenny Rogers and myself, ended up giving me a surprise. Not only did we have a hit record, but I found one of the greatest friends I ever had in my whole life," an emotional Richie shared."The loss of him is tremendous on my heart."
