The memorial will be live on their broadcasting station and on MTV. It will include the interviews and performances by artists who were present through Kenny Rogers’ career and others who mirror the country and rock genres.
The memorial like many other concerts at the moment will be taking place virtually. The artists will be interviewed and perform from their homes. CMT have set up a link for people to donate as they are trying to raise funds channeled towards COVID-19 relief.
The artists set to perform at the memorial include; Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Lady Antebellum, Gavin DeGraw, Randy Houser, Michael MacDonald, Rascal Flatts, Vince Gill, Jason Isbell & Amanda Shires, Jennifer Nettles and more.
The memorial will air on the 8th of April on both MTV and CMT at 8:00pm ET. It will have re-runs on CMT on the 10th and 11th on the same week. Well, if you can, celebrate Kenny Rogers with the world next week.
