He fell in love and married his 13 year old second cousin. Jerry Lee Lewis was 23 that time, and he has already been married and had two sons. Jerry was not sure, that his second son was biologically his, so he left his wife and moved to Memphis. There he was staying at his uncle’s house and started dating his daughter (and Jerry’s cousin) Myra Gail Brown. Soon he proposed the underage girl and wedded her. In spite of the fact, that he was still officially married with another woman.

Then the young rising star started tour around Europe. But his fans began to boycott him and Jerry earned nothing. He cancelled the tour and returned home. But most of music recording companies refused to collaborate with the musician too.
