The story goes that Jerry Lee Lewis once set his piano on fire, but the truth is difficult to track down, until now.
#jerryleelewis #jerryleelewissongs
When you begin researching Jerry Lee Lewis you learn that the truth is a bit of a rascal. The Country Music Hall of Fame artist understood this, and even understood his role in amplifying exaggerations, fibs or straight-up nonsense. For example, an oft-told story goes that Lewis once set a piano on fire and continued to play it.
Did it really happen?

I saw Jerry Lee Lewis sit a piano on fire Charlotte coliseum in the 60s. I was there, I saw it. I didn't know anything about upstaging Chuck Berry. The old Charlotte coliseum went wild. I was just a kid and completely blown away.

@tiffinibostic5963 Год назад

I agree with Hank Jr. there are alot of stories out there that are not true. One thing that is true The Killer did demand the stage just like Bocephus still does!! RIP Mr. Lewis tell everyone in Heaven hello!

@1963Austria Год назад

In heaven, Jerry, Mickey, Elvis etc are rocking in heaven. Those pianos are getting a workout.

@peterchecksfield9958 Год назад

NO. If he did, don't you think it would've been reported in the press at the time? Yet several biographers and researchers have searched the archives, and found nothing. Also, Jerry's bassist (and father-in-law) at the time J.W. Brown said that it never happened.

One of if not the greatest showman of our times

@winggullseagull1230 Год назад

I read Chuck Berry's autobiography & nowhere in his book did he mention Lewis setting fire to a piano on any rock n roll shows they did in the late 50's.

R.I.P JERRY LEE LEWIS

@OscarVaughn Год назад

They did talk to him about this because it made it in the movie. Watch the damn video promotions/interviews they did for his movie, he talks about setting his piano on fire.

@SamA-jg8vy Год назад

You would think that if he really did light a piano on fire that surely somebody would still be alive today who was at that show. It's an awesome story, but I doubt it actually happened.

A symbiosis two disparate commingle in a spiritual level and create a new contextual quantum field a shared history, kinship, a camaraderie. My wholehearted condolscences I saw his film biography as a teenager with Dennis Quaid and Winnona Ryder as well as Buddy Holly with Gary Busey.

Shame on you. Reporting what "some accounts" were and adding a despicable remark. In your own words you admit it might not be true, but you felt compelled to include it.

He has also stated that it was BS.
