News about Jerry Lee Lewis

Myra Gale Brown, as she was then known, married Jerry Lee Lewis in December 1957 when she was just 13 years old - enraging her father JW Brown, who was also Lewis' cousin. After Myra's mother's mother called his designer Sam Phillips to warn Lewis, he grabbed his pistol and stormed into Sun Records looking for Lewis, who will miss town. On a tour of Europe five months ago, their underage marriage was revealed, and the resulting scandal has soured Lewis rock and roll's careers.

Following his father's death in October, Jerry Lee Lewis, the son of late rock 'n' roller coaster Jerry Lewis, has been barred from the musician's sprawling Mississippi mega-ranch after a judge found him unlawfully occupying the house with his two children. The decision marks the start of a long-running legal contest involving Jerry Lee Lewis III, the rock icon's youngest son, and Lewis' longtime landlord, the real owners of the estate. Lewis, 36, was served with a complaint in January requiring him and his school-aged children to leave the house after they moved last year to a more accessible home. Lewis was given a deadline of March 5 to leave the property on 1595 Malone Road in Nesbit, the northern town of Nesbit, which came shortly after the scion fell short of crowdfunding $80,000. The lawsuit, brought by the late Lewis' longtime chief and brother-in-law Cecil Harrelson's relatives, informed many that although Lewis' legendary father purchased and lived on the ranch for almost half-century, it was never legally his.

Myra Lewis Williams, Jerry Lee Lewis' third wife, who died on October 28, aged 87, has expressed how she was delighted by their wedding, with the singer announcing a film. 'Oh my God! I was one of the few people, perhaps the only one in the world, to have a surprise wedding,' Williams said on Friday at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Their union sparked a scandal. Williams, who did not attend his November 5 funeral, said she could not recall the last time they met. After 13 years of marriage, Williams and her second husband, Richard Williams, moved to Georgia, where they began working in real estate in Duluth. The two couples, who are now retired, met when she first applied for a job at his office: they have been married for 39 years.

Jimmy Swaggart, guitarist Jacob Tolliver, and Kenny Lovelace were among Lewis' funeral guests in Ferriday, which is right across the Louisiana-Mississippi border. Judith Brown, the country singer's seventh wife, was also present as she left the proceedings in tears. At the funeral service, Swaggart recalled, "We learned to play piano together." 'I had to make myself understand that he was no longer here.' Lewis' body was discovered at the front of the funeral home's main parlor, enclosed in a closed, red casket with a spray of red roses on top. Multiple funeral wreaths, one of which was in the shape of a musical note, dove among the walls behind and around the casket, as did photographs of the artist, one of which depicted him in a red suit hunched over and singing into a microphone.

When a Daily Mail reporter noticed her petite figure on the concourse of London's Heathrow Airport asking who she was, the plane carrying Myra Lewis from Memphis to London had not touched down. The now 78-year-old recalls, 'I told him I was a nobody.' "I'm Jerry's wife," says the man, "I'm Jerry's wife." And I suppose you could say that the remainder of the story is history.' Jerry Lee Lewis, the hellraising rock legend who died last week at the age of 87, was the Jerry she referred to.

In a recent interview with Myra Williams, 78, recalled how she ruled the family's finances and bought cars and trucks despite being a young teenager during her marriage to Jerry Lee Lewis. Lewis, one of rock and roll's earliest pioneers, died on Friday at the age of 87. Despite being nine years older, Williams maintained that she was the 'adult' in her marriage to Lewis. The couple were married for 13 years but then divorced after Lewis became involved in drug use.

Jerry Lee Lewis, a rock singer, died at his Memphis home at the age of 87. On Friday, the Great Balls of Fire singer passed away. Lewis was the last survivor of a generation of rock stars, including Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard. Since 'the King' was drafted to serve in the Korean War,' he was touted as a potential successor to Elvis. Lewis' reputation and image were badly damaged after it emerged that he was in a bigamous marriage to a 13-year-old cousin, who some claim was only 12 years old when they married.

Despite a previous story erroneously claiming he had died, Jerry Lee Lewis is still alive and well in Memphis. After claiming that he had died, TMZ later learned that someone claiming to be Lewis' representative had mistakenly told them Lewis had passed, which was not correct. Lewis, who first appeared on the 1957 album Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On, and the classic song Great Balls Of Fire, sparked health fears among fans when it was revealed that he had been suffering from the flu.
