Diskutiert diesen Artikel im Forum (2 Antworten).Für den Dezember 2024 kündigt David Stanley, Stiefbruder von Elvis Presley, die Veröffentlichung seines neuen Buches "Surviving Elvis"an und dieses wird wie folgt angekündigt:
"The new book is the true story of my life after Elvis. The book features insights on what really caused Elvis’s death in August of 1977. It reveals the facts about the Doctors who killed him and the controversy that followed concerning the official cause of his death.
The book also puts attention on the book 'Elvis: What Happened' written and released in 1977 by three of Elvis former bodyguards. It was this book that crushed him and had a direct impact on his untimely death.
In addition 'Surviving Elvis' will cover Priscilla’s role in Elvis life both then and now. It also examines the media frenzy that followed Elvis death and the lies that were told and published by several members of the so called Memphis Mafia.
Lisa Marie and her relationship with both Elvis and Priscilla is also a focus in 'Surviving Elvis'. The book begins with Lisa passing and the profound effects that rippled throughout the world and family as a result of that dreadful day.
'Surviving Elvis' is this and much much more. It is a book thats both brash and unapologetic. It is a book that reveals Elvis’s tormented soul and addresses the demons that drove him to an early grave. It is the unbridled truth that the world of Elvis is so desperately seeking and to this day has been denied.
Written with compassion for Elvis, 'Surviving Elvis' is not a tell all exposé of the king's life. It is the story that David lived and helplessly experienced first-hand and through his faith barely survived."

"In einem schmerzhaft ehrlichen Buch enthüllt Priscilla Presley die Geheimnisse ihrer Ehe mit dem King of Rock n' Roll.
Fast ein halbes Jahrhundert nach seinem Tod hat Elvis immer noch Millionen von Fans in aller Welt. Wir können mehr als nur ein paar seiner Hits mitsummen, aber wissen wir, wie er war, wenn das Rampenlicht aus war? Ist es möglich, dass der sexy und charmante Sänger unter seinen paillettenbesetzten Kleidern das gefährliche Gesicht eines Verrückten verbarg?
Niemand stand ihm so nahe wie seine Frau. Sie verliebten sich ineinander, als Priscilla vierzehn war, die jugendliche Faszination gipfelte schnell in einer Märchenhochzeit in Las Vegas, und die heiße Romanze gipfelte in der Geburt von Lisa Marie.
Doch die Idylle währte nicht lange. Je länger sie zusammen waren, desto mehr verlor Priscilla die Kontrolle über ihr Leben. Elvis sagte ihr, wie sie sich anziehen, wie sie malen, wie sie gehen sollte. Er behandelte sie wie eine Puppe, die sie nach ihrem Geschmack formen konnte. Umgeben von Menschenmengen, jubelnden Fans und dem Glanz der Legende kämpft die Frau jahrelang mit der Einsamkeit.
Priscilla erzählt von einer großen Liebe, aber auch von Verrat, Abhängigkeiten und Schwächen ihres Mannes. Von einer giftigen Beziehung, Skandalen und dem Eingesperrtsein in einem goldenen Käfig. Sie spricht über die Scheidung und das Band, das sie bis zu Elvis' tragischem Tod verband. Und schließlich über Emanzipation und das Heraustreten aus dem Schatten der Sex-Ikone. Die Fakten, die sie enthüllt, sind schockierend und kontrovers.
Eine Pflichtlektüre - nicht nur für Elvis-Fans." (Deepl-Übersetzung)

Von Ben Wynne erscheint im Februar 2024 das 181 Seiten starke Buch " A Hound Dog Tale: Big Mama, Elvis And The Song That Changed Everything " und dieses wird mit folgenden Worten angekündigt:
"The release of the song “Hound Dog” in 1953 marked a turning point in American popular culture, and throughout its history, the hit ballad bridged divides of race, gender, and generational conflict. Ben Wynne’s A Hound Dog Tale discusses the stars who made this rock ’n’ roll standard famous, from Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton to Elvis Presley, along with an eclectic cast of characters, including singers, songwriters, musicians, record producers and managers, famous television hosts, several lawyers, and even a gangster or two.
Wynne’s examination of this American classic reveals how “Hound Dog” reflected the values and issues of 1950s American society, and sheds light on the lesser-known elements of the song’s creation and legacy. A Hound Dog Tale will capture the imagination of anyone who has ever tapped a foot to the growl of a blues riff or the bark of a rock ’n’ roll guitar."

"The book is a very strong read and one that is very much the "counterpoint" to the recently published "rose colored glasses" account, 'Elvis and the Colonel: An Insider's Look At The Most Legendary Partnership In Show Business'c by Greg McDonald and Marshall Terrill."
