Jerry Lee Lewis

JLL was known for many vices throughout his career, but his hateful rage permeates his career. He had a violent temper which once culminated in the young star trying to strangle and kill one of his teachers.

He wasn’t found guilty until years later when he shot and killed his bass player.
