Rock ’n’ roll singer Jerry Lee Lewis has wed for the seventh time in a ceremony this month in Mississippi, according to a newspaper report.

The Natchez Democrat reports that the music legend married Judith Brown, his carer, on March 9th.

Ms Brown formerly was married to Lewis’s cousin Rusty. Rusty’s older sister, Myra Gale Brown, married Lewis in 1957 when she was 13 and was his third wife.

Lewis’s last marriage ended in 2004 when he divorced Kerrie McCarver after 20 years together.

The newspaper reports that Ms Brown (61) and Lewis (76) have spent the past three weeks touring Mississippi and Louisiana. Ms Brown told the newspaper she became Lewis’s carer two years ago. – (AP)
