Hank Williams Jr Steps Up for Ailing Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis was too sick to attend his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame, so Hank Williams Jr. to deliver a speech for him.

Williams — a Country Music Hall of Fame inductee from 2021 — did that and more. While much of his speech honoring Lewis was scripted, he deviated several times to point out the similarities between the two of them.

"Jerry Lee doesn't walk on stage and politely thank an audience for being there," Willams shared, smiling.

Before getting to Lewis' words of gratitude, Williams spoke for about six minutes, sharing tidbits from his childhood with his own personal feelings toward the style of music the newest inductee played.

"Believe me, if Jerry Lee Lewis sits down in front of a piano at your house, you're going to pay attention," Williams says, recalling when this would happen at his house as a young boy.
