May 22, 1958 – Jerry Lee Lewis arrives in London for a tour. When a reporter for the Daily Mail notices a young girl in the entourage, he asks her who she is. “I’m Jerry Lee’s wife,” she replies. Word spreads that Lewis has married his 13-year-old second cousin, Myra Gale Brown. A scandal erupts over his marriage, as well as his two prior divorces. Lewis is booed offstage, the tour is canceled after three shows, and he returns to the U.S. to find himself mired in controversy. #ROCkabillyHop @jerryleelewis #ROCkabillyHop #TheKiller
