Jerry Lee Lewis, outrageous rock ‘n’ roll star, dies at 87

[Scott]

 

Jerry Lee Lewis, the untamable rock ‘n’ roll pioneer whose outrageous talent, energy and ego collided on such definitive records as “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" and sustained a career otherwise upended by personal scandal, died Friday morning at 87.

 

The last survivor of a generation of groundbreaking performers that included Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Little Richard, Lewis died at home in Memphis, Tennessee, representative Zach Farnum said in a release.

 

Of all the rock rebels to emerge in the 1950s, few captured the new genre's attraction and danger as unforgettably as the Louisiana-born piano player who called himself “The Killer."

There seems to be a problem with this story.  Jerry Lee isn't dead:

TMZ walks back report Jerry Lee Lewis died

 

Goodness, gracious.

TMZ stunned readers Wednesday, sending off push alerts reporting that the iconic rocker Jerry Lee Lewis had died.

The only problem: Lewis,87, is, in fact, alive.

Not according to Wiki.

They even detail who officiated at his funeral.

Well wherever he is, he wasn't Catholic, so he isn't in purgatory.

Apparently he was reported dead by TMZ, they retracted their claim, as he was still alive but he then died 2 days after the original report.

 

From Forbes:

Rock’ n’ roll superstar Jerry Lee Lewis died Friday at age 87, several outlets reported, days after TMZ published a false report about his death.
