Kenny Rogers laughs about the time he nearly had to have his ears amputated

Wow! Now this is a harrowing tale!

Kenny Rogers has a bit of advice for new artists....adapt to where you're going or you too may find yourself nearly losing your ears. 

Trust Kenny, he talks from experience. 

During Bonnaroo last month, Fuse caught up with the music legend and asked him to tell a tour story. What he told was a cautionary tale. 

"We were in a [Canadian city] that was 50 degrees below zero. Now I'm from Texas and I'm walking around with no ear pads on and my ears started hurting. I go back to the hotel and the guy says, 'If you stayed out there another minute you would have had to have your ears amputated.' You learn on these tours: Adapt to where you're going," Rogers tells us, laughing.

An earless Kenny Rogers, now that would have been quite the site.
