Jerry Lee Lewis returns to U.K. 11-10-2008
Rock legend Jerry Lee Lewis is to return to the U.K. 50 years after his ill-fated 1958 tour was scrapped following revelations about his private life.
The singer came to Britain in May 1958, aged 22, to play a series of live dates across the country - but the roadshow was cancelled after just three concerts when it emerged that Lewis' third wife, Myra Gale Brown, was his first cousin once removed - and was just 13 years old.
The scandal forced Lewis back to his native U.S., where he was snubbed by radio stations and pushed into hiding.
Now 73, Lewis has regained his status as a rock icon, and is set to play two dates in London on 25 and 28 October (08), with a further date in March 2009 with fellow 50s legend Little Richard.

Elvire And I saw Jerry Lee Lewis here in Ohio on October 11th, 2008. Kenny Loveless and the Memphis Beats opened the show with some high energy Rock-n-Roll/Rockabilly. Jerry Lee Lewis then came out with a rockin' entrance. He put on a great show for his age (73 years old). He performed a mix of Rock-n-Roll and Country tunes. Everything from "Good Rockin' tonight" to "You win again" to "Middle Age Crazy" to "Drinkin' Wine" to "Whole Lotta Shakin" and 'Great Balls of Fire". We really enjoyed the show!!!!
Unfortunately, the theater that we attended did not allow any photos of Jerry Lee Lewis. But we did meet Kenny Loveless after the show to sign my guitar and take a few photos.
