So sad for us but not for The Million Dollar Quartet. They're reunited in rockabilly heaven.

I always wondered if it was truth or myth that Jerry Lee Lewis once set his piano on fire during during a performance.  This was depicted in the 1989 motion picture Great Ball of Fire starring Dennis Quaid as Jerry Lee Lewis...

Well, it turns out that he indeed set his piano on fire when he sang Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On to upstage Chuck Berry who was to close the show.  I'll let The Killer explain...
