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."

ISBN: 9788324069200In Polen erscheint am 14.02.2024 das Buch "Elvis And Me" mit 320 Seiten unter dem Titel "Priscilla. Elvis I Ja" und dieses wird wie folgt angekündigt:
"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)

ISBN: 9780807181140Von 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."

ISBN: 1399049844Lorraine Gibson kündigte ihr bei "White Owl Books" erscheinende und 244 Seiten starke Buch "Elvis - The King Of Fashion" für den Sommer 2024 mit einem Vorwort von Hal Lansky an.
Ankündigung des Verlages:
"Elvis Presley’s life was the ultimate rags to riches story, and it was the rags, as much as the riches that drove him, defined him, and made him the global icon he is today. Born in a shack in America’s Deep South in 1935, to impoverished parents struggling in the wake of the Great Depression, he sprung from a life of deprivation to one of international fame and untold wealth – all before he was twenty.
Brought up dirt-poor, but surrounded by love and music from birth, Elvis was infused with the sounds of gospel and the raw, hard-life blues of the ‘cotton country’s’ plantation workers. And when the family radio brought country singers, crooners and spiritual quartets to his young ears, his musical DNA was fully-formed. Elvis’ boarding pass for the rocket-ship to stardom was a voice of liquid gold and his striking appearance upgraded him to a VIP fast-track ticket into the entertainment stratosphere. His unique sense of style and musical talent went hand-in-hand in creating Elvis the Showman.
As a teenager, before he sang a note, it was his unconventional look that singled him out among his peers. Later, it was his voice that stopped a conservative 1950s America in its tracks. This book looks at how Elvis broke down cultural and racial barriers and smiled in the face of safe dressing. His bold outfits were his trademark yet, no matter how dazzling, they never outshone him.
They were also his force shield, superhero costumes that protected him from anxiety, pain, the glare of the spotlight and, in difficult times, from reality. It considers how Elvis’s extraordinary style – as much as his pioneering music – defined his life and the experiences that he lived through. It includes exclusive interviews with: * Hal Lansky, whose family dressed Elvis for three decades, and who advised Austin Butler on what to wear playing him in the 2022 movie, Elvis. * Award-wining producer director, Steve Binder who resurrected Elvis’ career and put him in that black leather suit for the 1968 Comeback Special. * Butch and Kim Polston, who maintain Elvis’ legacy, recreating his spectacular 1970s Vegas jumpsuits, including those worn by Butler.
Elvis: The King of Fashion_ marvels at how an intensely shy and disadvantaged boy from the wrong side of Tupelo, Mississippi, went from homespun to Hollywood in the blink of an eye and became the most popular, successful, idolized and imitated solo performer of all time. Most of all, it regards the rollercoaster life of Elvis the man through a fashion lens as he strode like a colossus through the world of showbusiness, dressed like The King he never quite believed he was."
