Great Balls Of Fire... HERNANDO, Miss. (AP) — A judge in Mississippi has approved a divorce settlement between Jerry Lee Lewis and his sixth wife, Kon-artist Kerrie Lynn McCarver Lewis. It's been a long day and it's been an expensive day," Lewis said outside the courthouse.
He married the gold-digging Kerrie Lynn McCarver on April 24, 1984. They lived together at his 40-acre ranch near Nesbit, just south of Memphis where she "managed" his merchandising and fan club.
She claimed to have married the Killer for a million good reasons. She believed her husband's income topped $1 million annually. J.W. Whitten, Lewis' road manager, said uncertainty about court dates had prevented Lewis from accepting a number of long-term bookings.
The Killer is loose again! Killer's New 2005 Comeback Album!!!! Film producer STEVE BING, a long time fan of the fallen GREAT BALLS OF FIRE star, and pal JIMMY RIP have reportedly pumped $1 million (GBP526,000) into Lewis' comeback album, which features collaborations with RINGO STARR, ERIC CLAPTON, SIR MICK JAGGER and KEITH RICHARDS among others. And Lewis' manager/daughter PHOEBE insists the offer to record the much-anticipated album, which is due out later this year (05), gave her ailing father a spark of life. She tells newspaper the LOS ANGELES TIMES, "I was so worried about him that I moved back in with him about five years ago. He was in bad shape, very depressed , very poor diet, problems with his marriage (to KERRIE LYNN McCARVER). "We didn't know what to make when Steve and Jimmy showed up. They told us they wanted to help make his music come to life again... They've done just that." Lewis himself admits recording the album with Rip and Bing has given him a new lease of life: "When you have people like this working with you and Keith Richards and GEORGE JONES wanting to record with you, it's wonderful." The album features Lewis' version of LED ZEPPELIN's ROCK + ROLL and a new version of THE BEATLES' I SAW HER STANDING THERE with on-off touring partner LITTLE RICHARD on backing vocals. |
