Dolly Parton has taken to Twitter to share a tribute to Kenny Rogers, who passed away yesterday, March 20.
"We all know that Kenny is in a better place than we are today, but I'm sure he's going to be talking to God sometime today," Parton said. "He's going to be asking Him to spread some light on the darkness that's going on here. I loved Kenny with all my heart. My heart is broken, a big old chunk of it has gone with him today."
Watch the video.
You never know how much you love somebody until they're gone. I've had so many wonderful years and wonderful times with my friend Kenny, but above all the music and the success I loved him as a wonderful man and a true friend. pic.twitter.com/hIQLIvt8pr
