Kenny Rogers will say a final goodbye to his annual Christmas & Hits Tour in 2016. The country legend has announced that this will be his last seasonal tour where he will perform holiday favorites and his hits live in concert.

The news follows Rogers' previous announcement of his farewell tour, the Gambler's Last Deal, which will run into 2017.

“Christmas has always been a special time of year to me,” Rogers explains in a press release. “The feeling I get performing on the Christmas tour is one of the things I’ll really miss about not being on the road. We will be sure to take extra time to cherish some moments on this last go around, and I hope as many people as possible will be able to join us in creating a new set of holiday memories.”

For his 2016 Christmas & Hits Tour, Rogers will visit 16 cities where he will perform holiday favorites, selections from his 2015 Christmas album Once Again It’s Christmas and his well-known hits.
