Kenny Rogers shocks fans with a new look

Fans did not hide their dismay. Rogers no longer looked like himself. His eyes lost the warmth that went so well with his husky voice and scruffy look. He had taken a big risk and it went south.

Responding to the widespread criticism at the time, he said

I'm not happy about it. It drives me crazy.

The singer admitted that he was very displeased with the result of the nip and tuck, According to him, he'd been adviced by a trusted plastic surgeon to lift his eyelids and he had simply gone along with it

Done with feeling sorry

But Rogers has also said in the past that any entertainer afraid of changing their looks would have a hard time staying relevant. And so, in an interview on CBS This Morning, he had a surprising reaction to changing his looks. He still had regrets about how it turned out, but he wasn't sorry about his decision.

Rogers said he had wondered for a long time if adjusting his features would make him look better, and so he booked an appointment with one of the world’s best and got the job done.

I regret that, but the truth is I don’t know what I would have looked like if I hadn’t done it. So, you do it and you live with it.

Dolly Parton thinks he looks cute

Another country star who also drastically altered her face and isn't in the least bit sorry about the botched job is Dolly Parton.
