The perfect companion to Baz Luhrmann's forthcoming biopic Elvis, a major motion picture starring Tom Hanks and Austin Butler. What was it like to be Elvis Presley? What did it feel like when impossible fame made him its prisoner? As the world's first rock star there was no one to tell him what to expect, no one with whom he could share the burden of being himself - of being Elvis. On the outside he was all charm, sex appeal, outrageously confident on stage and stunningly gifted in the recording studio. To his fans he seemed to have it all. He was Elvis. With his voice and style influencing succeeding generations of musicians, he should have been free to sing any song he liked, to star in any film he was offered, and to tour in any country he chose. But he wasn't free. The circumstances of his poor beginnings in the American South, which, as he blended gospel music with black rhythm and blues and white country songs, helped him create rock and roll, had left him with a lifelong vulnerability. Made rich and famous beyond his wildest imaginings when he mortgaged his talent to the machinations of his manager, 'Colonel' Tom Parker, there would be an inevitable price to pay. Though he daydreamed of becoming a serious film actor, instead he grew to despise his own movies and many of the songs he had to sing in them. He could have rebelled. But he didn't. Why? In the Seventies, as the hits rolled in again, and millions of fans saw him in a second career as he sang his way across America, he talked of wanting to tour the world. But he never did. What was stopping him? BEING ELVIS takes a clear-eyed look at the most-loved entertainer ever, and finds an unusual boy with a dazzling talent who grew up to change popular culture; a man who sold a billion records and had more hits than any other singer, but who became trapped by his own frailties in the loneliness of fame.

Hvordan var det at være Elvis Presley? Hvordan må han have følte det, da han i løbet af tre år efter sin studentereksamen blev et af de mest berømte mennesker i verden – lige så beundret som berygtet? Hvor forvirrende må det have været at opdage, at selv om alle smilede, når han trådte ind i et lokale, så afskar hans enestående berømmelse ham fra enhver form for normalitet resten af hans liv? Hvorfor kunne han ikke lide at sove alene? Hvorfor lå han i en alder af 42 år ensom, søvnløs og ulykkelig på et hotelværelse og var overbevist om, at hans karriere havde været en fiasko? Hvorfor følte han sig forrådt af Hollywood? Var han overhovedet klar over, hvor god en sanger han var? BEING ELVIS fortæller Elvis Presleys usædvanlige historie som den forløb – ikke i bagklogskabens lys eller fra en bredere, mere verdensklog synsvinkel, men sådan som sangeren selv må formodes at have set og oplevet det.

Whoever you are whatever your age the rest of your life begins right now. What you do with it is up to you, but after reading this book, I would hope that you would have a better understanding of Elvis and a happy joyous life! Many times in life, we do not accept what has been said, because it is something, we do not want to hear, for it may go against the norm. However, with Elvis it is truly in the eyes of the beholder for without him coming out of hiding we may never see the physical truth, especially if he had no proper DNA samples taken during his life up until August 1977 that would hold up in court proving his identity. It has been said that there is DNA held by Lisa Marie, but only she would really know. There is a doctor Elvis saw by the testimony of him after the death date with DNA that defines Elvis it has been said. However, some people say that he does not come out to the public, because he would not be able to prove his identity properly, and be labeled as mentally ill. I feel that if alive, he wants a very quiet life with no media today, or yesterday and there would be legal complications too. Whether Elvis is alive or dead in the eyes of the beholder, I will not make a statement as to the whole truth about this. In this book, I am only telling of various incidents and statements about the possibility of him being alive, whether he is still alive at the age of being in his eighties now is a wonder. Many things point to the possibility of him being alive, even yet today. Someone who arrived at the scene from the call of his bad predicament of falling and possibly dead states that when he arrived at Graceland that Elvis looked very dark skinned, not like the Elvis he knew of. Elvis used many types of prescription drugs and was hooked on them, but is it possible for your skin to change that much from being a fair-skinned man. The idea of taking Elvis to a hospital to be revived that was not, the closest hospital does not add up, for what was that, about. Many people feel that he staged his death and this book will tell of a goodly number of events and accounts relevant to people in his life involved in the possible fake death. After reading this book and digesting the alleged facts, I collected over the years, the reader should be able to acknowledge a logical, intuitive, and educated conclusion, whether or not, Elvis, is physically dead or alive. I hope you enjoy reading this book most of all, for I tried hard to relay all that I know related to the possibility of him being alive along with cool stuff said about him. I feel that Elvis may be alive, but may not be completely well as of 2016, for with all of that hip movement over the years, he likely has hip problems being over eighty years old. I also heard that he had some kidney stone problems, and was counseled by a Kansas City doctor, due to no longer being Elvis, and was in seclusion for a long time. Everything that is said within this book that pertains to Elvis being alive today is from various things presented by various means in this book, so keep an open mind, and heart, but it is not necessarily the gospel truth, but is allegedly true by circumstances, or by those that knew him before, and mostly after his alleged death. I am not responsible as a person, or as an enterprise, regarding whether the statements are actually true or not. I have done the very best I can to present the words that seem to be factual pertaining to his life and the possibility of him being alive today. I cannot be responsible for Elvis' words or people that were in Elvis' life, for over time words become somewhat changed, but hopefully, the words are accurate, for most of the words should be. Here is a word from Albert Einstein: To dismiss something without an investigation of the proposed evidence is the height of ignorance. Truth may seem stranger than fiction. However, truth is simply the real deal in the beholder's eyes!

It’s the summer of 1978 and most people think Elvis Presley has been dead for a year. But not eleven-year-old Truly Bateman – because she knows Elvis is alive and well and living in the Eagle Shores Trailer Park. Maybe no one ever thought to look for him on an Indigenous reserve on Vancouver Island. It’s a busy summer for Truly. Though her mother is less of a mother than she ought to be, and spends her time drinking and smoking and working her way through new boyfriends, Truly is determined to raise as much money for herself as she can through her lemonade stand … and to prove that her cool new neighbour is the one and only King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. And when she can’t find motherly support in her own home, she finds sanctuary with Andy El, the Salish woman who runs the trailer park.

Elvis Presley was born on January 8th, 1935, in a shack in Tupelo, Mississippi. Though he was born a twin, his brother – who had been named Jess Garon – was tragically stillborn. Elvis died on August 16th, 1977, at the age of just 42, in his Graceland mansion. His death marked something significant in the collective mind, like the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, or Martin Luther King. Conspiracy theories took off about the circumstances surrounding his death: Was Elvis murdered by the mob? Was his death faked? Did Elvis commit suicide? Is he still alive? This book sheds new light on many of these questions, while also celebrating his music and legacy. Elvis Presley played a central and vital role in the development of Rockabilly music, drawing as he did on a vast range of styles, from the Gospel music of his southern youth to the country music of the Midwest. This book is dedicated to Elvis: the artist, the human being, and The King.

Of the millions of Elvis Fans around the globe, I would place Heart Shapre' among the top ten persons for her love, mystique and dedication to King Presley.

Here is your friend, and you will learn about the man. Would anyone who loves ELVIS toss his life away? Influential people like ELVIS are not forgotten no matter what. Seven lost childhood years of ELVIS' life is related by James Samuel Denson selected by Gladys Presley to help raise him.

To quote Elvis, My image is one thing and the human being is another...it's hard to live up to an image...Elvis gave possibly more than he had and his spirit still connects with all who love and understand him far beyond the emotionalism. The God in Elvis connects with the God in others.Don't miss knowing him plus the blessing this book brings as, if you shut the door here, you may be walking on Elvis' soul. As some desire only the showmanship, there is no need to say 'enjoy it' - you have that but we have the man - ELVIS. We were extremely fortunate to have had Elvis for so long. Yet today, his music is kept alive so beautifully by radio, TV, film and the gifted Tribute Artists world-wide; we are highly blessed with their artistry. Elvis was not finished by August 17, 1977
