Rock 'n' roll pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis has died aged 87.
The American musician, whose hits included Great Balls of Fire and Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On, was one of the last survivors of rock 'n' roll's golden age which included Elvis Presley and Little Richard.
Nicknamed "The Killer", Lee Lewis was as well known for his controversial private life as his music. He died at his home in Desoto County, Mississippi, south of Memphis with his wife Judith by his side.
