Music superstars Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton will be putting on one final duet for their audiences on October 25 at the Bridgestone Arena in Tennessee, according to a new press release.

“It’s going to be a great night, and I’m going to be proud of it and it’s more for me to say thank you and say bye to those people than it is for them to say thank you to me,” Rogers said in a public statement. “It’s kind of fun for me to think about the chance to get together with everybody one last time.”

Rogers and Parton have famously performed duets together on such songs as their ’80s hit, “Islands in the Stream.”

“We have been friends for over 30 years and made musical magic together. Since 1983, when we released ‘Islands In The Stream,’ everyone has had an expectation to see Kenny everywhere I go and me with him wherever he goes. Well, I guess for many of those fans that wanted to see us together, this will be that night,” said the 71-year-old Parton in a statement.

She continued, “Performing with Kenny for the last time ever on October 25th is going to be emotional for both of us, but it’s also going to be very special. Even though Kenny may be retiring, as he fades from the stage, our love for each other will never fade away.”

The concert is part of Rogers’ farewell tour and will also include acts such as Little Big Town and Jamey Johnson.

The 78-year-old Rogers announced his retirement last year and has no concerts scheduled after the October 25 event.

“It’s really designed to be a night of fun and great talent, and hopefully something new will come from it.”
