After overcoming a potentially career killing throat problem, singer R. Kelly is now facing some serious financial woes. The singer made headlines last week when he was rushed to the hospital for emergency throat surgery to drain a painful tonsil abscess. Kelly is said to be taking an indefinite break from performing to recuperate from his surgery.
But In recent financial news, a report shows that Kelly owes the IRS $837,000 in delinquent federal taxes. According to The Detroit News, the IRS filed a tax lien against the music producer on Jan. 6, 2010, with the Cook County Recorder of Deeds.
Kelly’s current lien adds to a growing list of evidence that the singer is having serious financial difficulties. Just a few weeks ago it was reported that Kelly’s Chicago mansion was facing $2.9 million foreclosure lawsuit from JPMorgan Chase Bank after the singer failed to pay his mortgage for more than a year.
Luckily for Kelly, his debt problems were relieved a bit in June when the IRS lifted a tax lien of just over $1 million.
