Rock ‘n’ Roll star Jerry Lee Lewis dies at 87

Jerry Lee Lewis, a star of "Great Balls of Fire," passed away at the age of 87. Although Mr Lewis's representative told Rolling Stone that he had passed away, the cause of death was not immediately known.

Me Lewis passed away with his seventh wife, Judith Coghlan, by his side at his home in Desoto County, Mississippi.

“It is with great sadness we’ve learned about the passing of Jerry Lee Lewis, who was just inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame this month.

“We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones during this difficult time,” Country Music Association tweeted on Friday. 

Three Grammys were won by Mr Lewis. He published "Last Man Standing" in 2006, which featured George Jones, Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen, and B.B. King.

For the album "Mean Old Man" in 2010, Mr Lewis included Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Sheryl Crow, Tim McGraw, and others.

Mr Lewis has seven marriages. In 1982, when she was pursuing a divorce, his fourth wife, Jaren Elizabeth Gunn Pate, drowned in a swimming pool. In 1983, Shawn Stephens, his fifth wife, reportedly overdosed on drugs and passed away. After then, Mr Lewis wed Kerrie McCarver. They separated for a while before getting divorced in 2005. Jerry Lee III was the only child of the pair.
