Jerry Lee Lewis, ‘The Killer’, died yesterday at his home in Desoto County, Mississippi. He was 87.
Lewis was known as ‘The Last Man Standing’. A reference to the fact he outlived fellow Sun Records legends Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash.
Lewis was recently inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame but was unable to attend the ceremony due to illness. Kris Kristofferson later presented the award to Lewis in person.
RIP Jerry Lee!
