Kenny Rogers reveals more of what's to come in his new memoir, "Luck or Something Like It."
The book was published by HarperCollins Publishers on Oct. 2.
According to FOXNews, the country singer, 74, opened up about his sex scandal.
According to HuffingtonPost, in the early 90's, three Texas women filed lawsuits against the country star alledging that Rogers conned them into playing kinky phone-sex games, People magazine reported at the time.
"Well you've got to have one in your life! I thought that (phone sex) was the safest sex there was, only to get hammered by it. Here I was, it's between friends. We can't be together, so let's talk about it," Roger said. "It was great, it was exciting, it was fun. If I'd fought the lawsuit I could have won that battle. It was a phone number they had to call and pick up the message. They didn't have to call if they didn't want to, but they did and recorded it. I thought that it was going to cost me more to fight it then to pay it so I paid it and left it alone. What hurt me the most was I thought they were friends."
Also revealed that the publishers of the memoir didn't want Rogers to include his plastic surgery.
"The Gambler" singer told FOX, "Yeah I regret the results of the eye job but quite honestly I don't know what I'd look like if I hadn't done it and it may have been way worse. I actually had written a whole segment on it but the publishers said, 'Let's not do that, that's all people will talk about,' and this book is about my journey and my musical connections. It was a phase I went through. I improved myself. I didn't like the way he did my eyes but I see all these other guys who have had it done and theirs are worse than mine. I'm not going to complain anymore."
Rogers sat down with Stephen Colbert during an interview on "The Colbert Report" and dished on secrets of Dolly Parton, his best collaboration with Ray Charles that was never recorded, Charles Barkley, and Jerry Senfield's episodes closing down, according to EntertainmentWeekly.
Many more revelations are included in the book, including Roger's struggling childhood, his five marriages, and his alcoholic father.

The book also got rave reviews:
"Unassuming memoir by one-time chartbuster Rogers, he of "The Gambler" fame. The author's approach to memoir writing is consonant with his approach to song crafting and chicken making: crowd-pleasing, unchallenging and resolutely middle-of-the-road. Some might call it bland, but it's calculated not to offend."- Kirkus Reviews
"'Luck or Something Like It' reveals how the young Houston musician experimented with doo-wop, jazz, and mainstream pop before settling into the country genre for which he's been known. It also describes how his deep faith and the importance to his life of artists including Elvis Pressley, Dolly Parton, and Ray Charles." - Barnes & Noble
