Country music legend Kenny Rogers died at 81



The family of famous American singer Kenny Rogers announced today, Saturday, the death of 81 years old.
"He died peacefully in his home for natural reasons and surrounded his family," said a statement on Rogers' website.

"The family intends to hold limited private ceremonies at the present time in light of concerns related to the national emergency due to Corona Virus Covid-19, and a memorial will be held at a later time," the statement added.




The American singer who is an icon of country and pop music during the 1970s and 1980s, passed away at the age of 81.
His agent, Keith Hagan, said that "Rogers" passed away safely Friday at his home in Sandy Springs, Georgia, where he was receiving medical care and died of natural causes .

With his hoarse voice, Rogers sold tens of millions of records and won three Grammy Awards. His art career also flourished for 60 years before retiring in 2017. Despite his successful transit, he always preferred to think as a country singer.



Kenny Rogers, born in Houston Texas in 1938, is the fourth of seven children born to a nurse and carpenter. He released eight albums during his singing career. In a survey of a famous American site about the best 200 singers of all time, Kenny won first place in 1986 and he won many awards throughout his artistic period, notably Grammy Awards.

Rogers had started a recent world tour in 2016 but canceled some parties in April 2018 due to "a series of health difficulties".



During his long career, Rogers won three Grammy Awards and his name is immortalized in the American Country Music Hall of Fame.

After Rogers entered the world of singing in the 1950s as part of a jazz band, he set out solo on his career during the 1970s and released his song (Lucille), which achieved impressive success in 1977.

One of Rogers' most famous artworks is The Gambler, which was added to the national record in 1978, and one of his songs that gained great fame, especially in the Arab world, is Lady, and Rogers has only 8 art albums throughout his life and was awarded the title of best singer in the late eighties.



Rogers married five times, the first time at the age of 39 of the American actress Marianne Gordon, but they separated after a 16-year marriage, and this separation caused widespread resonance in the world of Hollywood, where his wife received $ 60 million in a settlement of divorce.

Panic in stores and markets on toilet paper and canned food

With the spread of the Corona virus around the world, shoppers are running around the markets, supermarkets and pharmacies either to fight the Corona virus or to prepare for possible quarantine. Early popular products were Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer. As with the spread of the virus in a large way, the demand has become steadily on toilet paper. Because of the panic, fear of the people, and the high turnout in stores, most stores have restricted what people can buy, as shoppers cannot purchase more than six antiseptic wipes, hand sanitizers, and hard wipes. But why is the toilet paper the last purchase without others?

A solar storm hits the earth on the first day of spring

Space weather forecasters have noticed a stream of solar winds coming toward us, which could hit Earth on March 19, the first day of spring. Scientists said that the solar wind could lead to the aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere. The stream of particles stems from the sun from a small hole on the surface of the sun, allowing winds to penetrate the solar system and move to its depths. The Space Weather website reported global predictions: "A small current from the solar wind is expected to hit the Earth's magnetic field on March 19, which may cause the twilight to occur around the Arctic Circle. The gaseous material flows from a newly opened hole in the sun's atmosphere." The aurora borealis occurs when solar particles strike the atmosphere, and when charged particles from the sun strike atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, which consists of different gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, those atoms are excited to give different colors with diffe...
