I saw Jerry Lee Lewis sit a piano on fire Charlotte coliseum in the 60s. I was there, I saw it. I didn't know anything about upstaging Chuck Berry. The old Charlotte coliseum went wild. I was just a kid and completely blown away.

Thanks for this information. I'm working on my own video about wild men of rock and roll and I'm going to include a clip from the Dennis Quaid bio pic to illustrate how wild Jerry Lee was.

Rest in peace Killer. Burning piano or not, what a legend. Been playing your songs nonstop in my car since hearing of your passing.

[@peterchecksfield9958]

NO. If he did, don't you think it would've been reported in the press at the time? Yet several biographers and researchers have searched the archives, and found nothing. Also, Jerry's bassist (and father-in-law) at the time J.W. Brown said that it never happened.

One of if not the greatest showman of our times

[@OscarVaughn]

They did talk to him about this because it made it in the movie. Watch the damn video promotions/interviews they did for his movie, he talks about setting his piano on fire.

[@tiffinibostic5963]

I agree with Hank Jr. there are alot of stories out there that are not true. One thing that is true The Killer did demand the stage just like Bocephus still does!! RIP Mr. Lewis tell everyone in Heaven hello!

[@1963Austria]

In heaven, Jerry, Mickey, Elvis etc are rocking in heaven. Those pianos are getting a workout.

[@winggullseagull1230]

I read Chuck Berry's autobiography & nowhere in his book did he mention Lewis setting fire to a piano on any rock n roll shows they did in the late 50's.

He was the greatest! 😂

R.I.P JERRY LEE LEWIS

[@kevingiven3463]

Dennis Quaid played Jerry Lee Lewis in a bio-pic and set the piano on fire.

[@SamA-jg8vy]

You would think that if he really did light a piano on fire that surely somebody would still be alive today who was at that show. It's an awesome story, but I doubt it actually happened.

The LONGEST 5:59 minute video ever! Could have been more engaging and enjoyable if it was 3 minutes

[@junniehendrix9771]

Another great legend has left us.

[@rickeyzinn7542]

Jerry Lee was and always remain "a mystery " We won't ever find the truth about "the fire 🔥 " because he's still "The Killer " RIP JERRY LEE LEWIS.

Rip sir and I did set one on fire playing great balls of fire in memory of you .

[@TheEdie1958]

A symbiosis two disparate commingle in a spiritual level and create a new contextual quantum field a shared history, kinship, a camaraderie. My wholehearted condolscences I saw his film biography as a teenager with Dennis Quaid and Winnona Ryder as well as Buddy Holly with Gary Busey.

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

Never happened. Still a legend.

[@fishingstevie8830]

Seven wifes Mmm ok never knew and 2 died suspiciously again never knew about that ..Anyhow as for his music he was right up there one of very best in the business and is one of a few who began Rock from Chuck Berry to Jerry Lee Lewis to Bill Haley and comets .. Great balls of fire was the huge hit song that Jerry Lee was famous for .

TRUE then said follow this

[@peterchecksfield9958]

No he didn't. That was just a fictional scene in a wildly inaccurate movie.

[@Peachie4011]

Killer, Micky Gilley and Jimmy Swaggart. All cousins and all so different, but not so different.

[@alpiekaar]

I saw a J L L. interview,.......he said he did ......

[@hamletsmill258]

No shred of evidence.

[@karenwaddell9499]

Did he really sing great balls of fire

[@Graydood]

Shame on you. Reporting what "some accounts" were and adding a despicable remark. In your own words you admit it might not be true, but you felt compelled to include it.

[@shannonwapash7038]

Idk how you were still alive why am I down in hell ask Mel gibson

It was lighter fluid, not gasoline.

[@peterchecksfield9958]

He has also stated that it was BS.
