Jerry Lee Lewis died at the age of 87 on the 28th of October, 2022. Although he's been described as "rock and roll's first great man" as well as a pioneer of early rock and roll and rockabilly music, his life story is full of controversy and scandals.
For one thing, it's well established that he married his 13-year-old cousin, Myra Gale Brown, in 1957. After the scandal broke about that marriage, Lewis' popularity quickly eroded, and he was unable to achieve the same level of success in the music industry in the decades that followed.
Lewis was also known for frequently exhibiting outlandish and at times violent behavior. His wild antics became so frequent that he even earned himself a nickname that highlights just how unstable he could be at times.
Jerry Lee Lewis was known by many as the Killer. That moniker, however, wasn't just a casual nickname. The strange and shocking tale behind the origin of the sobriquet is quite startling to say the least. Join Facts Verse as we reveal the real reason why they called Jerry Lee Lewis "The Killer".
