Jerry Lee Lewis | 86
When we think back to the ’50s, we can see where rock ‘n’ roll truly began. It was when the first true music kings rose to prominent degrees, demonstrating that music does not have to be monotonous.Few other artists brought as much ego and talent to the party as Jerry Lee Lewis did and lived to tell the tale. Fewer still could successfully channel that fire into their music and succeed in the process like Lewis. Dubbed “The Killer,” he was one of the most controversial and entertaining performers ever to take the stage.
Lewis’ most recent album, Mean Old Man, was published back in 2010, and it was his 40th studio album. It also indicated that he had worked in the music industry for almost 60 years. Lewis is now 86 years old and lives at home with his wife, Judith. He suffered a significant stroke in 2019 while at home in Nesbit, Mississippi, which hampered his mobility, and others speculated that he might not survive. Lewis was able to overcome it, nevertheless.
