Kenny Rogers has passed away

https://variety.com/2020/music/obituaries-people-news/kenny-rogers-dead-dies-1203541233/

Vocalist Kenny Rogers, who dominated the pop and country charts in the 1970s and 1980s with a string of sleekly tailored hits and won three Grammys, has died. He was 81. Rogers “passed away peacefully at home from natural causes under the care of hospice and surrounded by his family,” a representative for the singer said in a statement. Due to the national COVID-19 emergency, the family is planning a small private service at this time with a public memorial planned for a later date.

I mean one of those rare good men. Kind hearted, warm, unassuming, happy to sing his songs. Like John Denver good. Wholesome.
