Scott Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 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." https://www.yahoo.com/news/jerry-lee-lewis-outrageous-rock-165214217.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 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. https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/27/media/jerry-lee-lewis-death-tmz/?dicbo=v2-cb85c322c31545df1d51e4052175c6c5&hpt=ob_blogfooterold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert got kinky Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 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. https://www.forbes.com/sites/marisadellatto/2022/10/28/jerry-lee-lewis-confirmed-dead-days-after-false-death-report/?sh=f7b683286996 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
