Rock ’n’ roll icon Jerry Lee Lewis is alive and well despite a report claiming otherwise, Page Six can confirm.

“He’s alive. TMZ reported erroneously off of a bulls–t anonymous tip,” the “Great Balls of Fire” singer’s rep told us on Wednesday.

TMZ incorrectly broke the news that Lewis passed away at his home in Memphis on Wednesday.

The beloved musician had been dealing with health issues recently, which likely lead to the speculation.

A Facebook post from his official page showed Lewis looking frail while dealing with the “flu.”

The Oct. 19 post read, “On Sunday, Jerry Lee Lewis was finally inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. The legendary Jerry Lee was too ill with the flu to attend the ceremony.

“His longtime dear friend Kris Kristofferson accepted in his honor from Hank Williams Jr. and Kris and his wife Lisa were nice enough to drive down to Memphis and present it to Jerry Lee in person.”


Lewis is best known for his song “Great Balls of Fire,” which was released in 1957.
