Remembering Elvis Presley, The King Of Rock And Roll, In Graceland

by Brad Rosenberg

Published August 16, 2017

While a remembrance for Elvis is held at Graceland each year on the anniversary of his death, organizers had planned for 50,000 people to attend Tuesday.

Because of the larger crowds, security measures had been updated for “Elvis Week” — including, of the first time, a $28.75 property pass wristband to give guests access to the Graceland restaurants, gift shops, and meditation gardens, entertainment tents, and more.

“In order to keep everyone safe and ensure an enjoyable and meaningful event for all, we have worked closely with local, state and federal security authorities to establish new procedures that have been widely used across the US,” authorities said in statement earlier in the week.

Meanwhile Priscilla appeared on Australia’s Today Wednesday to discuss her memories of Elvis — explaining that behind closed doors, the late star had a softer side.

“I didn’t see him as this movie star or this huge iconic singer,” said Priscilla, who was married to Elvis from 1967 to 1973. “I saw him at probably one of the most vulnerable times of his life. Losing his mother and then of course being drafted, which was devastating at the top of his career. So he poured his heart out to me.”

Riley Keough, the oldest of Presley’s four grandchildren, also spoke about her famous forefather during an appearance on The Late Late Show Monday.

“We try to go to Elvis Week every year … it’s pretty cool,” she told host James Corden.
