Jerry Lee Lewis has died at age 87, two days following false reports of his passing.
prior to his death, was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame on October 16 but was unable to attend the ceremony after coming down with the flu.
“Dear friends and fans in Nashville, It is with heartfelt sadness and disappointment that I write to you today from my sick bed, rather than be able to share my thoughts in person,” Jerry wrote via Facebook at the time. “I tried everything I could to build up the strength to come today — I’ve looked so forward to it since I found out about it earlier this year. My sincerest apologies to all of you for missing this fine event, but I hope to see you all soon.
Per the obituary penned by his team, the “Baby Baby Bye Bye” singer “suffered through the last years of his life from various illnesses and injuries that, his physicians have often said, should have taken him decades ago; he had abused his body so thoroughly as a young man he was given little chance of lasting through middle age, let alone old age.”
