As a young man visiting Vegas in the early 80's I went to a Wayne Newton show, wasn't a fan or anything but gave it a try, the show was just stunning, the talent he showed and special effects were simply amazing, a great memory!

When I worked as a chauffeur, I had Wayne Newton for a couple of days . I picked up him along with his wife and daughter and some family members in a SUV . He chose to ride up front with me and was very nice. After a show at Lindenwood University, I told him that it was a great performance and that if he kept it up he might have a future in show business. He and the others had a good laugh . It was fun and I must say I've never seen hair that black before. Good times.

What I get from this is Wayne loved to live large but ultimately beyond his means. He's had quite a life and he's still singing. I wish him the best.

A performer who can still perform is never truly broke

The man is talented and a hard worker and I don't call $50 million dollars broke. More power to him, I always liked him.

Some years ago I produced a Wayne concert...I can tell you he was an absolute gentleman, love working with him

Mr Newton has always been an incredible showman. If a person has had the opportunity to see one of his shows…how special that would be. God has blessed him with incredible talent and a beautiful family! ❤

Wayne is exactly what he is - very little pretense. I saw him in LV and he was an amazing showman. I went to see him kind of as a joke, but it turned out I really liked him and all I can say, he was great. Keep going Wayne

Thanks for treating Mr. Newton respectfully while discussing the difficulties of his life. You continue to be a class act.

A very close friend of mine was next door neighbors of Wayne before he became a star. Said he was always over his house growing up. Said he was very respectful all the time.

Hang in there Wayne ! I lived in Vegas for two years long enough to buy a house and get divorced. I was broke ,drunk and destroyed . I depended too much on other people . That was 2000 I have fallen again but today life is better what doesn't kill us makes us stronger . Love you in Vegas vacation 😊

Kinda heartbreaking. I've been around him more than once (for work) and he's a pretty nice guy. A real gentleman and even a generous spirit. He could teach a course on classy behavior to any of these scummy, young music performers today. It's just sad that he could never get his financial act together.

Newton is a very nice man and the Vegas locals have known this for decades.

Wayne claims his daughter from his first marriage was once threatened with kidnapping unless he paid up first. When the Las Vegas police refused to do anything he turned to "special friends" in Vegas to make the threat disappear. This is how the rumors of his mob ties began. BTW, he is extremely generous and has helped numerous residents of Vegas down on their luck.

Wayne is a good man, I've enjoyed working for him for over 20 years.

He's always been approachable and very, very good and gracious to his fans. How many other present day "celebs" can you say that about?

He has always had a heart the size of Mount Everest--- that is what counts!!!!!

One of the kindest, nicest gentlemen out there 😢 I'm sorry if he's had or has financial problems we all can relate

I met him once in person, through a friend, after one of his incredible, transcendent shows at the Sands. Being in the audience, in the moment, made me extra happy to be alive to witness his energy and star power. When he talks to you, you have his complete attention, and his follow-up questions are spot on. It was unbelievable. He was a total gentleman. I wish him and his lovely wife well, and thank him for his electrifying shows that, surely, are in a league of their own.

I met Wayne Newton when he came to Lemoore's casino TACHI and gave a concert. At the End of His performance He came to the front and said a life changing statement . He said : Thank you for your LIFE !! The room stayed silent for a few seconds because everybody Started to Thik what does Waye Mean? Then he explained. He Said: You Have given me 2 hours of your time, and time is not replaceable. Your Time is your LIFE !!! Therefore you gave me part of your life and I appreciate that!! This statement of Wayne Newton was a big eye opening for me. I No Longer say : The Time is not going by fast, I'm bored. !!! Since Then I have been Managing and Respecting Time as Best As Possible! TIME is Life And I never wish to waste It anymore. So Thank You Dear Wayne!!🙏

For someone who is totally broke, he seems to live a pretty good life.

This guy lived an amazing life

Wayne and Elvis had a lot in common. Not only great singers and showmen, but very generous and did not like dealing with financial planning. Artists many times are not business people.

I had the pleasure of meeting him many years ago.. He performed at the venue of a resort I am employed. Such a kind man... he was a gentlemen

I loved Wayne when he was very young and on I love Lucy! He sang like an angel

The fact that he lived through those mob ties gives Danke Schoen a whole new meaning.

Wayne Newton is still going strong!!!! You got it at 80 dude

He’s still considered Mr. Las Vegas, Best of Luck to him.

I wish Wayne Newton all the best.

I hope he is happy just like we all wanna be.

I've seen him twice in Vegas. One when I was on my honeymoon in July 1980 and then again in '84. Fantastic performer!!

Who isn't having financial difficulties right now? This guy has had a amazing life truly an he's a legend an he's cool....

A fool and his money are always easily separated 🤔

I have seen Mr Newtons shows at least 4 times. I will never forget seeing him at Branson on my 60th birthday. We could not find the theater but show was held up at least 30 minutes so did not miss a thing. How happy to find out we weren’t late. I have been a fan since seeing him on Ed Sullivan and said; THERE IS A STAR WAITING TO HAPPEN. Never fails to entertain. Love you Wayne.❤❤

I went to see him in the 80's in Las Vegas. He really put on a good show. It was one of the best I ever saw in Las Vegas. Also remember the warm up act was a comedian who also did the voice of Tony the Tiger.

Wish every human being could be as good a person as Mr Newton

The plastic surgery is definitely frightening… through it all it doesn’t seem like he was a bad person. I suppose it reenforces how important it is to have trusted advisors. Thank you again for another insightful overview of a well known personality.

I love Wayne, he is a legend and a gentleman ❤

All I can say is, "Bless His Heart".

More frightening than his poor financial situation is the hideous series of bad plastic surgery over the years. I understand his reasons, but the end result is never good. Growing old gracefully is surely a better option. Having said that, he's a wonderful performer, one of the best.

Wayne Newton is part of our historical legacy. God bless him. Mob ties? SO WHAT!! That was the time that's also our legacy, and I appreciate that for what it was.

I've been a big fan of Wayne's since I was a little kid. Have seen him live several times. He ALWAYS puts on a great show. Whatever is going on in his personal life he doesn't let it affect his shows.

Back in the 60's he came and played at my elementary school in Roseburg Oregon. Thank you Wayne.

money comes and goes so what's the big deal ? I remember Wayne back when he started singing and I will never forget it as he is a likeable man and I'm not interested in the gossip. am glad our world still has him 🥰

Wayne is one of the nicest gentlemen in Las Vegas. Went to high school with the Newton family.❤

That Wayne loves animals tells me all I need to know. God Bless Him

He was a friend to the Cartwrights and he put Johnny Carson in his place so that’s good enough for his true fans..live long and be well Wayne 🎤👏🏼

There was a time when Wayne was the biggest name in Las Vegas. One of the hardest working stars ever.

I love Wayne Newton. He is and will always be Mr. Las Vegas. I've loved him ever since I was very young and I will always love him. He's a sweet good singing man.

I went to school with Wayne, he was always a nice person, no mob , he was his self always. Good shows, and could play Great, I will always remember him as a friend...

Mr. Newton and his crew were always very kind to me and I wish him all the very best.

80 and still doing his thing. Good for Wayne!

I like him. I wish him the very best. A great talent and loving man. ❤

The first time, I saw Wayne Newton. Was on I LOVE LUCY SHOW. Many moons ago. He was that new fresh smile kid. My husband like him right away. He sang beautifully. I am a 79yrs old lady from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤ WAYNE WISHING YOU THE BEST❤ IF U ARE HEALTHY KEEP SINGING ❤

I was at his house in the early 80’s when he was doing well. Vegas has been struggling but now seams back stronger

I used to live down the street from wayne. He did love his horses, and was known as the most generous entertainer on the strip. As for the mob, as long as he made his home in vegas who didn't have ties to the mob.

He is a good man very nice to his fans!! ❤

I really like Wayne Newton. I went to a concert in my city and it was fabulous.

Never met Wayne, but what a showman and fantastic talent, such a great singer! Don't care about his financial issues, he has been loved by my family for over 60 years!!

Like Elvis, he has a big heart and freely gives people charity but is his own worse enemy financially. His show and the Siegfried and Roy were the two must see Acts in Vegas for years. I wish Newton the best! He’s led an incredible life.

Wayne had some great songs. Glad to see he is doing well

So unfortunate about his financial situation. He’s a wonderful entertainer.

Oh, how I loved Wayne Newton...so talented with all the musical instruments he plays so well. I saw him in Vegas in the '80's and what a showman. I remember him singing Danke Schoen. Such a nice little song. Sorry to hear he's broke. Makes me feel better about losing my money a few decades ago. It's a rough road getting back up.

Probably one of the hardest working performers ever!

Regardless if he's broke it seems like he had an honorable life and love towards others. God bless him I say.

Wayne's tragedy is what he has done with his face.

I really like this guy He's a great performer and I hear he's a gentleman God bless him and I hope everything works out especially at his age he should be relaxing on the beach somewhere He's done a lot and I do like him great singer

My husband and I saw Wayne Newton and Jack Benny in Lake Tahoe in 1962. We were on our honeymoon. I still remember that experience as if it were yesterday - Wayne has always been a favorite and I’ve followed his career/life for nearly 60 years! 💕

My only concern is for those animals! Always loved Wayne even as a little girl I was born in 62... Daddy, don't you walk so fast still brings tears 😢

I remember seeing Wayne Newton stand up to the mob on a news broadcast. It was decades ago. He publicly announced that the mob had threatened to put a hit on him if he opened his own place. He didn't get whacked, so I guess it was a good strategy at the time. My mom loved him, I think he's ok too.

I have seen Wayne Newton a few times. Awesome entertainer. He gives it everything.

I’ve watched Wayne since the beginning of his career….he’s my age! He was this young innocent, and sad that he didn’t seek financial advice early on. I only wish him well! ❤❤❤❤❤

Living above your means has a terrible ending. Am shocked at his financial standing or downfall. Miracle Newton is still alive.

He is the hardest working and most talented man in Vegas

Wayne is always kind to his animals. That's worth something😨

I have always admired and revered Wayne Newton. And that’s never going to change.

Got news for you - He ain’t broke folks ! He’s doing just fine .

Never paid much attention to his personal life but I always liked his songs

Many years ago we were in a restaurant and Wayne Newton and entourage came in. Two young girls approached the table and asked for autographs, he not only signed for them but was so gracious he got up to take photos with them, very impressive

Me again, Mr. New Vegas, reminding you that you're nobody till somebody loves you. And that somebody is me. I love you.

Daddy don't you walk so fast was one of my favor songs. I think that's when his voice was at it's best. He had a very distinct sound.

I knew him a little bit when I was a performer in Las Vegas. I love the guy! He was always nothing but nice to me. My bass player, Danny DeMorales was also Wayne Newton's bass player, and I would tell jokes in the lounges and showrooms where I was working and couldn't figure out why, when I went to see Wayne's show at the Hilton, I think it was, Wayne was telling my jokes!!!! Turns out Danny would go over there after doing an early show with me and spread those jokes around backstage and Wayne would pick up on them. Haha. I don't care. You can't copyright a joke! I've stolen plenty myself! Wayne was an incredible singer with a voice of silk and satin. And how he loves his audiences! What a performer. One of the best. One of the very best that every lived!

Around 1964 I was a bass player with Don Corey and the Montereys.We were booked in the lounge at the original famous Copa Cabana in NY City. He was on tour at the time and the Copa was one of his major performance clubs. He, of course, was a young boy.His voice and tonal pitch were amazing. We shared the same dressing room at the Copa and it was truly an honor. I hope he gets to read this just to see if he remembers this incredible occasion.

I saw him at MGM perform in 1997. What a show. Had such a great time.

Wayne Newton is a living legend.

That's a very interesting video about Wayne Newton and it's unfortunate that he had some many financial setbacks but you have to remember it's him the public keeps coming back to see!

Saw him in Vegas in early 70's. Played every instrument on the stage.. Talented

Wayne is an absolute icon in music and as crazy as it sounds, when I met my husband, he was a good likeness to Wayne. I met my husband when I was 17 and after 5 months and 2 weeks of dating we were married until he passed away after our 51st anniversary. One thing I saw in him was how much he looked like Wayne Newton at the time. We were always together and we never got tired of making great memories together. The memories we made are what I live on he was and still is the love of my life !! After my husband had 2 full strokes and a partial stroke, it was like he had programmed himself to tell me how much he loved me. Since he passed away, I can still hear him telling me he loves me. It's kinda wild but the day I met him and remarked about him looking so much like Wayne Newton that still today my mind goes to the likeness. Just as Wayne is one of a kind, so too is the husband that I married!! From the day my husband came into my life he was all I wanted or needed, and, there is no need to look for another !! When you have had the closest thing to a perfect husband as I had, it's not even in me to settle for second best !! I'm happy to know Wayne is happily married to his wife, and, I'm sure he will know just what I'm saying, my wish for him is the happiness he so richly deserves !!❤

Wayne Newton is a great entertainer and a very nice person!

Wayne Newton is a famous Pop Singer, born on April 3, 1942 in United States. As of January 9, 2023, Wayne Newton’s net worth is $50 Million. He has been nicknamed Mr. Las Vegas.

You couldn't meet a nicer person than Wayne Newton.

No I didn't know that about Wayne Newton.Growing up I had the biggest crush on him.

Seen him in concert many years ago in St. Louis. Wonderful show. My mom, daughter, brother and I loved him. The effects were great and so was his singing. Never knew about the Mafia but so was Frank Sinatra. Not everyone is good with money or chores the right person to handle it. Elvis had the greedy Colonel handle his. Look at that mess. Keep up the singing Wayne. Money pays the bills but can't buy you happiness.❤️❤️❤️

In the 1960's adults just loved Wayne Newton, he was just a wholsome happy polite young American who loved people. The truth is that his most ardent fans are too elderly now to go see him and support his talent or they have passed away. This is a lesson for all of us to accept our years and maybe trim our expenditures as we earn less. I wish everything wonderful for Wayne, he deserves a couple of good friends to help him straighten the details out so he can live without stress. Prayers for you Wayne.

Wayne Newton is one of the very best entertainers ever!!!! I remember seeing him on TV when he looked to be about 17 and I thought to myself, gosh that guy is going to be a great star. He was born in the same city I was, Norfolk, Virginia. He is three years older than me but he is still to this day a ĝreat entertainer if not the very best ever. He has been entertaining his whole life!!!! We have two things in common, we were born in the same city and our love of horses!!! I have a signed picture of him on my table!!! He is one of a kind and so polite. I think of him and his family often!!!! May God continue to bless him, and many thanks for keeping us entertained!!!! We here in Virginia still love him!!!!❤❤

So sad to hear, I’ve never really been a fan but hate to see his life decay. Sad for the animals, I have cats and can attest to the cost of healthcare, I also rescue somebody has to do it. Good luck Wayne, be safe😎💙🐾

Thank you Wayne for your music that gave us so much joy. Best wishes to you.

I'm Eighty-Four and have watched Wayne's career progress since the early sixties on Arthur Godfrey show. He is an amazing singer and performer. We all have troubles throughout our life and Wayne has had his share. Glad he has a happy marriage and two daughters. Wow 60 years and Counting of his career. Shame you cannot trust a lot of people!

I remember seeing him on 'Vegas' with Robert Urich. Wayne's not a bad actor and does seem to be genuinely a good guy. I had the feeling that he and Robert were good friends in real life by their interactions on the show.
