As the legendary front man for one of America's great rock and roll bands, Huey Lewis has been a central force in the music industry since the early 1980's when Huey Lewis and the News first hit the scene. With 13 Top Ten hits, two Grammys, 25 million albums sold, and an Oscar nomination, the band enjoyed sold out tours and platinum records until Lewis suffered almost complete hearing loss due to his diagnosis of Meniere's disease which effectively ended his singing career. As an actor, he has played Billy Flynn on Broadway in Chicago, so-starred in Duets with Gwyneth Paltrow, and guest starred on the sitcom Hot In Cleveland several times.
