Rogers announces final Xmas tour

Since the release of Rogers' first-ever Christmas album in 1981, "Christmas," Rogers has embarked on an annual Christmas & Hits Tour where he performs holiday favorites and a large selection of hit.

"Christmas has always been a special time of year to me," Rogers said. "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 upcoming Christmas & Hits 16-date tour, Rogers will perform holiday favorites, selections from his 2015 Christmas album, "Once Again It's Christmas," and his hits. Linda Davis will open the shows.
