Married seven times, He married Myra Gale Brown, his second cousin, when he was 22, and she was his 3rd wife. 0_0
Then here he is in 2006, at 70 years old covering a Led Zeppelin song with Jimmy Page.

Used to see that a lot, used to but still do.
Ask any bouncer, or someone backstage after a rock & roll concert and you'll find it's pretty common. :/

She was 13, lied about her age as being 15, and was his second cousin. It was in 1957, his 3rd marriage, and he was 22. His whole family and life story is way weirder than fiction.
Over the top Baton Rouge Pentecostal evangelist Jimmy Swaggart is also his cousin.

Yes, it's real this time. This seems to be the real last curtain call.

Bonus edit; Here he is in England in 1964. For perspective, the number one Billboard hit that year was the Beatles, "I Want To Hold Your Hand".

He was really the last of 'the old guard', the Rockabillly/Rock & roll originators from Sun Studios in the early/mid 1950s; Elvis Presley, Charlie Rich, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash.
Jerry Lee did an album when he was 70 years old in in 2006 titled "Last Man Standing" with duets with a whose who of musical guest stars, Jimmy Page, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ron Wood, B. B. King, Buddy Giy, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Don Henley, Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson, Rod Stewart, Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard, Little Richard, and more.
He was definitely "The Last Man Standing."

Probably.
I saw Jerry Lee live when I was in High school in 1967, I'm impressed that he made it this long and never would have guessed at that time he would be "the last man standing".

Bingo! If you work in the field for long enough, or actually not even that long you're going to run into the driver who sees themselves as having a skill level way above the norm and can pull off tricks that mere mortal drivers would flinch at.
"You'll get stuck!" Cue Arrogance/ignorance rush. "Heh, heh, Well maybe a 'regular' driver would but I've been haulin' freight for.... ^dornes ^on ^and ^on."
Yeah, way too many hours alone in the cab can start one believing their own bullshit. That and the temptation of a 'shorter' route can be a real trap, as stuck between some rocks trap. ¯\_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)_/¯

He was the last of the original mid 1950s Sam Phillips/Sun Records crowd; Elvis Presley, Charlie Rich, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash.
No one back then would have predicted that Jery Lee would be the Last Man Standing.
