Wayne Newton has established himself as one of the most well-known entertainers to have emerged from the city of Las Vegas, Nevada, over the course of several decades. His prime was marked by the success of songs like “Daddy, Don’t You Walk Too Far” and “Years” which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song “Danke Schoen,” which was used heavily in the iconic 1980s film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, is possibly his most well-known composition. Wayne Newton had support from many of the most well-known entertainers of the 1970s, including Lucille Ball, George Burns, Bobby Darin, Jack Benny, and Danny Thomas, during his whole career.

Wayne Newton’s personal life hasn’t been ideal, and in addition to his ever-expanding waistline, his financial situation has been a complete and utter catastrophe. Throughout the majority of the 2000s, he was under investigation for various forms of financial mismanagement, and it all came to a head in 2012 when he declared bankruptcy. According to Wayne, the worst is over, and he has returned to his old house after reaching an agreement with his creditors. Despite this, things are not all doom and gloom anymore. Mr. Entertainment is actively involved in charitable organizations that raise funds for diabetes treatment and research. That is outstanding!
