Ankündigung des Autors:
"Music came into my life like a light in the darkness. She was the vehicle through which I was able to express not only joy and excitement, but also my vulnerability and sorrows. Through her, I learned that it is possible to transform pain into something beautiful, something that touches the souls of others. Music can heal the wounds that medicine can't touch.
My career has not only been a path of success, but also a journey of self-discovery and coping with adversity. Stardom carries with it a burden that only those who experience it can understand. In those moments, my faith was a refuge, a source of strength and renewal."I believe in the higher power of music," that belief kept me anchored in the most turbulent of times.
But most of all, I learned about love. The love of my mother, who always believed in me, the love of my wife and my daughter, who gave me a purpose beyond music. And the love of you, my fans, who gave me strength in moments of doubt. "Love is something you never lose, even when your heart stops beating," and it's that love that still keeps me alive in many hearts.
So, to those of you reading this, remember: life is a song to be sung with all your heart. Face your fears, embrace your passions, and most of all, love deeply. The curtains may close, but the melodies we play, those will remain forever."

"Elvis - The King Of Bling: Volume 1" heisst das nächste 220 Seiten starke Buch von Paul Belard und dieses wird mit folgenden Worten angekündigt:
"In an article in The New York Times Magazine published on August 8, 2023, titled A Brief History of Bling, the author argued that the story of hip-hop could be told “through the stunning and surreal evolution of the jewelry the artists wear.”
According to him, “The word bling, which entered common parlance at the turn of the century, conjures specific sights: small flotillas of twinkling diamonds, gold layered literally to the teeth, watches so gem-encrusted they barely tick.” He adds that, “One beguiling trick of hip-hop production, whether it’s expensive or ersatz, elegant or gaudy, is to convey musically what jewelry signifies visually.”
It is indeed a brief history of bling because Elvis’ name is not even mentioned! Had the word “bling” been in use in the 20th century, Elvis would have outshone the hip-hop genre. Anyone who has seen some of the bling worn by the rappers can credibly say that, compared to Elvis, they are mere amateurs."

Ankündigung des Verlags:
"Lisa Marie Presley, Tochter der amerikanischen Musiklegende Elvis und aufgewachsen in Graceland, erzählt erstmals ihre ganze Lebensgeschichte. Eine einzigartige und ungeschönte Autobiografie, die von ihrer Tochter Riley Keough aufgeschrieben wurde.
Ende 2022 bat Lisa Marie Presley ihre Tochter Riley Keough, ihr bei der Fertigstellung ihre lang erwarteten Memoiren zu helfen. Nur einen Monat später verstarb Lisa Marie überraschend - und konnte ihre Geschichte, die sie in ihren eigenen Worten erzählen wollte, nicht mehr vollenden. Ihre Tochter Riley fürchtete, dass nun niemand die vielen Seiten dieser liebevollen, lebensfrohen und fürsorglichen Frau kennenlernen würde, um deren Tod sie nun trauerte.
Doch Riley erhielt die Tonbandaufnahmen, die ihre Mutter während der Arbeit an ihrem Buch aufgenommen hatte. Sie legte sich in ihr Bett und lauschte Lisa Maries Stimme, die eine Geschichte nach der anderen erzählte: wie sie als Kind in Graceland mit Golfwagen Unfälle baute, wie sie die grenzenlose Liebe ihres Vaters spürte und wie die beiden sich im ersten Stock des Anwesens vor der Welt zurückzogen. Darüber, wie sie schreiend aus dem Badezimmer gezerrt werden musste, in dem sie den leblosen Körper ihres Vaters gefunden hatte. Über ihr Leben in Los Angeles mit ihrer Mutter, die Reihe an Schulen, von denen sie wieder und wieder flog, wenn es Ärger gab. Über die einzigartige, lebenslange Bande zu Rileys Vater Danny Keough und über die Ehe mit Michael Jackson. Darüber, was es heißt, Mutter zu sein. Über den Schmerz, der sie nie verließ.
Riley wusste, dass sie der Welt die Memoiren ihrer Mutter, so herzzerreißend sie auch waren, nicht vorenthalten durfte. Dass die Welt ihre Mutter endlich kennenlernen musste.
Dieses außergewöhnliche Buch vereint die Stimmen von Lisa Marie und Riley in einem Gespräch zwischen Mutter und Tochter, das den Tod und den Schmerz überwindet. From Here to the Great Unknown – Von hier ins Ungewisse ist tief berührend, erschütternd und intim – das letzten Zeugnis des einzigen Kindes einer wahren Legende."

Ankündigung des Verlages:
"Born to an American myth and raised in the wilds of Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley tells her whole story for the first time in this raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir faithfully completed by her daughter, Riley Keough.
In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-gestating memoir. A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and grieved.
Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, laid in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them. About getting dragged screaming out of the bathroom as she ran towards his body on the floor. About living in Los Angeles with her mother, getting sent to school after school, always kicked out, always in trouble. About her singular, lifelong relationship with Danny Keough, about being married to Michael Jackson, what they shared in common. About motherhood. About deep addiction. About ever-present grief. Riley knew she had to fulfill her mother’s wish to reveal these memories, incandescent and painful, to the world.
To make her mother known.
This extraordinary book is composed of both Lisa Marie’s and Riley’s voice, a mother and daughter communicating across the transom of death as they try to heal each other. Profoundly moving and deeply revealing, From Here to the Great Unknown is a book like no other—the last words of the only child of a true legend."
