The event will also feature a special reunion Lewis will gather with his famous cousins, televangelist Jimmy Swaggart and country legend Mickey Gilley. Hosted by John Stamos, the event will feature performances and tributes from friends including Elton John, former President Bill Clinton, Willie Nelson, Lee Ann Womack, Tom Jones, Joe Walsh, and more. He suffered a serious stroke last year, but regained his ability to play the piano in time to cut a gospel album in Nashville in January. Belatedly, Lewis will celebrate his birthday with a virtual livestream event on October 27th. Jerry Lee Lewis turned 85 years old on September 29th - a remarkable milestone, especially considering that Lewis was one of the hardest-living of all the original Fifties rock & roll pioneers.
