.
(Webster) Legendary country star Kenny Rogers will be receiving the "Artist of a Lifetime" award during the sixth annual "CMT Artists of the Year" event which will be televised live from Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville on December 2 at 8pm ET/PT. Rogers is only the second recipient of the award with Merle Haggard receiving the inaugural honor in 2014. He had the following to say about receiving the honor, "You go through your life and your career and you try to do the right things and make the right decisions. You don't always do that, but I have been very lucky. I am grateful for it all. "This is a great honor and one I highly treasure. Being in with Merle Haggard on anything is always a thrill. To CMT, the fans, and all who made this incredible award possible, I can't thank you enough."
