10 Famous musicians that went broke (With Pictures)

7. Jerry Lee Lewis

Anybody who has been performing for seven decades as has Jerry Lee Lewis is going to have some stumbles and even falls. The rock music icon who will be remembered for such hits as “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin On” and “Great Balls of Fire” fell and in a big way back in 1988 when he was forced to file for bankruptcy. Lewis listed over $3 million in debts at that time. Nothing, not even bankruptcy, has yet been able to completely slow Lewis down as of the posting of this piece. He is still performing in the summer of 2015 at the age of 79 years old.
