Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n Roll, The popular sound vote for popstars poignantly describes the thrilling, tragic, roller-coaster life of Rock and Roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis, as for perhaps the first time he tells you his own story. A story which reveals the origination of the nickname 'The Killer', The hell-raising beginnings as a Honky Tonk Piano Player, the Meteoric rise to stardom and the scandal that took it all away again; The successful comeback in the 70's with a string of country hits only to plummet to the bottom again in his personal battle with drugs and alcohol, which may yet cost him his life.
Despite it all his closest friends remained loyal throughout and many offer their own personal anecdotes on their friendship with the enigmatic man and showman; and you will see 'The Killer' onstage, playing his trademark wicked piano and jubilantly singing his best-loved songs in rarely seen television and concert footage. I am what I am is the story of a proud, spirited talent who helped to create the legend that is Rock 'N Roll. Who has no intention of talking the three steps to heaven just yet!
