Rogers made the announcement during an appearance on The Today Show on Friday morning (September 25th). He appeared on the show to promote the release of his brand new Christmas album "Once Again It's Christmas".

The music legend said, "I've done this long enough. Sometimes there's a fine line between being driven and being selfish, and I think I crossed that line when I was younger. I really want to be there with my kids and my wife. I don't see enough of them. And I have some things on my bucket list."
