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".

That’s awesome, my dude! I’ll be honest, I didn’t know he still was around as I thought he had passed a while back, but now that I think about it I’m pretty sure I got him mixed up with the comedian

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."
