I’m a huge fan and managed to see him in concert a couple times. I would definitely say he’s my all time favorite musician, and to me personally, the greatest of all time.
They falsely reported his death way back in 1981. It just took 41 years to get it right. I remember an interview with him in his 40s or 50s. The interviewer said, “When you’re 80 years old, you’re not going to be beating on the piano, singing Great Balls of Fire…” Jerry Lee got hot and cut him off. “How do you know? There’s people who said I wouldn’t make it this long, and a lot of them are dead and in the ground, son!” He did indeed play past 80, only retiring in 2019 after a stroke.
God bless you, Killer.

Ok so set me straight: do we have Live Jerry, Dead Jerry or Schrödinger's Jerry Lee Lewis?

Thinking of Ken Osmond earlier this year, and before, Tanya Roberts. Who had celebrities who die, live, then die again on their bingo card? But seriously...
Iconic music, but complicated past of course. Best way to put it I guess.

I mean, his controversies were pretty widely known. How much worse can it get then marrying your thirteen year old cousin? ... Don't answer that.

Jesus built my car.
It's a love affair.

RIP to a legend. We love ya Jerry.

Was he the last of those big Sun Records-era acts still around? Personally, I never got the appeal of him after hearing of what he did.

He was one of the last of those early pre-Beatles rock 'n' roll legends, and a great one at that, even if his questionable lifestyle choices overshadowed his music. RIP, Killer.

Speaking of Elvis, here's what he said when he died - To be fair, Jerry Lee’s opinion of Elvis changed depending on his own mental health and substance use at the time. It could be what you quoted, it could be, “He was a phenomenon and don’t you forget it,” it could be, “He was a good friend and I miss him.”

Jerry Lee Lewis can't be dead. He's the Devil. Jesus was architect, previous to his career as a prophet. All of a sudden I found myself in love with the world. So there was only one thing I could do- Was ding-a-ling-dang my dang-a-long-ling-long. Thanks. Now I have that frickin' song stuck in my head. Ding ding dong dong dong ding dong! Dingy dingy son of a gun!
