When we found
out about the Elvis Presley Exhibition at The O2 in London we didn’t hesitate for a minute and booked
the tickets immediately. It has always been our desire to visit Graceland, but unfortunately
Memphis is not right around the Corner.
The thought of
being close to some of the most personal items - over 300 artefacts direct
from the Presley family’s treasured Graceland – from the
King of Rock’n Roll himself was truly amazing, surreal and exciting. What a generous gesture
of Priscilla
Presley to bless us with such an incredible opportunity.
Me personally I was not
even born when the Elvis-mania explored America and the entire world. His ground-breaking
music sessions, record-breaking concert tours, his military service in Germany
and Hollywood movies were all before my time. But thanks to my mom I grew up
with Elvis Music and Hollywood movies.
When I saw the Film “Elvis and me” produced by his wife Priscilla Presley and mother of his only
child Lisa Marie, I immediately fell in Love with Elvis: the son, the husband,
the father and the friend. A loving, giving and unbelievably generous human being.
I envy the people who had the privilege to meet him and work with him. Elvis was such a gentleman.
He not only was one of the most handsome men of all time, but also one of the
most gifted. God bless his soul that is still giving people love and hope even
forty years after his passing with his voice and his lovely music.
Watching the older
generation at the O2 Exhibition - male as well as female - was truly touching. I
felt that they not only admired what they saw, but also remembered memories of
their own youth. Especially the sparkle in the eyes of the male visitors when
they saw Elvis Harley Davidson or cars was priceless. Older man in their sixties
looked at the “mans toys” with such an admiration and enthusiasm.
I love people who are
strong fighters and not born with money and fame right away served on the
silver platter. Elvis Aaron Presley born on January 8th, 1935 was born into
poverty. But thanks to his talent and the support of his loving parents, Vernon
and Gladys he achieved his worldwide success.
One would think that a person
like him would forget his routes and behave like a King. Even though he was
titled as the King of Rock’n Roll, he didn’t behave like a King. From what I
know through his biography he was the most loveable and generous person you can
imagine. He supported his friends and family in every possible way.
Even now after his death he’s
sharing his most private belongings with his admirer. Walking through this
Exhibition and looking at each single piece with Elvis voice singing “Welcome
to my World” in the background made him completely alive. As if his soul was
actually in the room and looking at each one of us and welcoming us in his
London home.
Globally, Elvis has sold
over one billion records and continues to sell to this day to new generations.
Elvis was incredible. Extraordinary and exceptionally as an artist as well as a
human being.
Thank you to the beautiful and sweet Priscilla Presley for sharing Elvis with us. She did
such a great job. We will never forget this experience.
Today is your birthday Elvis. Happy Birthday to you. You are and will always be alive! You were unique and will always be irreplaceable. May God bless your family and loved ones.
We recommend the
Elvis Exhibition and give 10 points from 10. A must for all the Elvis Lovers.
