Jerry Lee Lewis, the piano-pounding, foot-stomping singer who electrified early rock 'n' roll with hits like "Great Balls of Fire" and "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" before marital scandal derailed his career, has died, according to a statement from his representative, Zach Farnum. He was 87.

 

I remember when The Rock sang for the then-living legend.

Read a book on him years ago. As an avid music nerd, I give him tons of credit as an artist but he was an extraordinarily huge pig of a human being even compared to other rockstars...which says a lot. So yeah, on that front, not a terribly big loss! Artistically though, big influence on a lot of shit we listen to today.
