JERRY LEE LEWIS, 85 YEARS OLD
Jerry Lee Lewis was born into a religious family that wasn’t very well-off, yet they sold their house to get young Jerry Lee Lewis a piano, which he loved and can probably be accredited to have been the beginning of this Rock-n-Roll legend. Jerry Lee Lewis started to establish a name for himself in Memphis after writing and selling a song together with his cousin J. W. Brown. They sold the song to the president of Sun Records, the legendary Sam Philips. This was before it became popular for singers to sing songs written by others, Lee Lewis was a pioneer in this area, as well as bringing the piano into Rock-n-Roll. Married for the first time at 16, he has since divorced six times. Over the years he has overcome quite a number of personal tragedies and struggles, such as losing two sons in different accidents and a struggle with alcoholism. He managed to conquer his struggles and still performs today.
