Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Elvis Presley remains a magnet for headline drama, entertainment spectacle, and colossal payday action this week. Forbes dropped its annual rankings and The King made the top ten highest-paid departed celebrities with a reported $17 million in earnings since last November. The latest speculation underscores just how far Elvis’s brand power extends, 15% still owned by the Presley family but most of the empire now maneuvered by Authentic Brands Group; it’s merchandising, tours, and intellectual property galore in play, according to Forbes Australia. That means Graceland survives another year as a lucrative tourist magnet, untouched after last summer’s wild saga when scammers attempted to snatch the estate—fans can still expect ticket prices or licensing tweaks driven by the constant flux of estate control.

Meanwhile, legal fireworks in the Presley orbit are making even bigger noise. Priscilla Presley, 80, is locked in a fierce $50 million fraud lawsuit escalation as of late October. Former business managers Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko have ramped up allegations about hidden asset deals, likeness rights, and betrayal—the court battle now threatens Priscilla’s own $10 million net worth, with potential consequences for Graceland, royalty splits, and asset sales that could ripple out and reshape Elvis’s business legacy. Her countersuit for elder abuse and claims of financial coercion keep the saga headline-worthy, and her son Navarone Garibaldi is tangled up in the drama as well. Finance Monthly reports that only a quarter of celebrity estate feuds resolve without significant wealth erosion, so fans and business partners are watching every legal twist.

The entertainment world keeps pumping out Presley tributes. Vince King, recognized by Elvis Presley Enterprises, is set to bring his award-winning act to Texas on November 19 for a sold-out show. More tribute events pop up everywhere—from a Viva The King Vegas Experience in Puerto Rico on November 22 to "The King Comes Home" tribute show in Las Vegas on November 29. Elvis Week 2025 just wrapped, with Graceland packed for panels, shows, and collectibles discussions. Both fans and new audiences are rediscovering his influence at venues and museums, including the Grammy Museum Mississippi’s Rock ‘N’ Roll Blues Family Day on November 15.

In pop culture, Riley Keough, Elvis’s granddaughter, just made a splash posing with her twin daughters for the Autumn issue of EQ Luxe—photos buzzed across media on November 2, keeping the dynasty in the public eye. The Official Elvis Presley Fan Club’s November E-Zine pumped even more digital nostalgia for diehards, spotlighted on Facebook and other socials.

Finally, a new Elvis movie is confirmed in the pipeline for 2026 distribution, per Emiel Maier’s Elvis Presley News Report. With fresh vinyl, book releases, and multimillion-dollar auctions, Elvis Presley remains a worldwide phenomenon whose myth, music, and money chase headlines and fuel gossip just as fiercely as ever.

Elvis Presley may have left the building in the physical sense decades ago but these past few days have put him all over the headlines and entertainment news, cementing the King’s status as a culture icon. According to 95.7 BEN FM, November 1 marks a milestone that’s got fans and music historians talking again—the anniversary of Suspicious Minds topping the Billboard charts back in 1969 and reigniting Elvis’ career after several years focusing on Hollywood productions. That chart comeback is still referenced as a career-defining moment and grist for endless retrospectives.

Turning to tribute performances, there’s a buzz of anticipation for upcoming shows. Vince King, recognized by Elvis Presley Enterprises for his striking resemblance, is booked for a November 19 Elvis Tribute in Tomball, Texas, fresh from high-profile local television spots and Sirius Radio interviews. Meanwhile, “Viva The King Elvis Presley Tribute: A Vegas Experience” will hit Puerto Rico’s Centro de Bellas Artes on November 22, promising a glitzy homage to Elvis’s spectacular Las Vegas era. Fans in Las Vegas won’t be left out—a separate tribute called “The King Comes Home” is set for November 29 at the legendary Westgate Resort & Casino, a venue that echoes Presley’s golden years of residency.

Online, the official November Elvis Presley News Report posted by ElvisPress and recapped by Emiel Maier highlights a major scoop: distribution for a new Elvis biopic is underway, targeting a big release in 2026. While details on the cast and storyline remain officially unconfirmed, industry insiders suggest it could rival 2022’s buzzworthy “Elvis” directed by Baz Luhrmann, making it one of the most potentially significant incoming releases for Presley’s legacy.

Vinyl collectors are being treated to fresh remixes and colored reissues including the Loving You soundtrack, with a modern twist that’s earning respectful nods from long-time fans who want new life breathed into classic hits. Auctions, book releases, and Elvis-themed audio devices round out the fan experience, with Graceland still drawing bucket-list crowds per reviews this October—though candid visitors still note the omission of real talk on Presley’s late-life health struggles.

On social channels and pop culture blogs, commentary surged this weekend around Paul McCartney and John Lennon’s recollections resurfacing in interviews and documentaries. Lennon’s story about meeting Presley—describing him as “just how he expected him to be” and “great”—continues to be shared and dissected. McCartney named Elvis “the guru” of rock and roll, and both gushed about that first magical encounter, which is now being re-celebrated and reposted across fan pages.

Tribute shows, e-zines, and major events keep Elvis’s legendary career alive. While speculation is swirling about the 2026 film’s impact, most news this week remains firmly fact-based, with Presley’s reputation as the King shining on in public appearances, business activity, and ever-loyal social media. His enduring presence and influence are unmistakable and, as always, all eyes wait for the next big chapter.

In the past week the King of Rock and Roll’s name has been buzzing far beyond the walls of Graceland. Major media like Parade and AOL have reignited fascination with Elvis Presley’s most notorious moment of controversy—the infamous 1957 Los Angeles concert where his hip-shaking was so scandalous the LAPD’s vice squad filmed his performance to ensure it stayed within the bounds of decency. Variety reported on the renewed interest, and Hollywood publicist Gene Schwam has confirmed the police presence was actually a brilliant publicity stunt planned by Elvis’s manager Colonel Tom Parker to boost ticket sales. This slice of ‘sex show’ scandal has resurfaced with the usual hot takes, but the consensus remains: instead of curbing his fame, the uproar made Elvis even bigger, cementing his untouchable place in pop iconography.

Over in the world of music history and memorabilia, reviews are coming in for the new multi-disc set “Elvis Presley: Sunset Boulevard.” According to The Second Disc critics, this set revisits lesser known but emotionally resonant recordings, offering fresh mixes of classics like “Burning Love,” which reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains a high point of his catalogue.

In live entertainment, tribute shows are about as hot as ever. The Old Savoy theater in Northampton has just hosted “This Is Elvis” with Ben Portsmouth, hailed globally for his uncanny tribute performances, while Dean Z, long regarded by Elvis Presley Enterprises as the world’s ultimate Elvis tribute artist, continues to sell out shows in Branson and hosts Elvis Radio on SiriusXM. Meanwhile, Penticton, Canada, is ramping up tickets for its 2025 Elvis Festival, now a major international contest for tribute artists, sanctioned by the Presley estate.

On the cultural experience front, London’s “Elvis Evolution” immersive event is attracting attention, using digital technology and live actors to retell the King’s journey, though TripAdvisor reviews describe some disappointment with the execution.

On social channels, fans commemorated the anniversary of that 1957 LA concert with hashtag campaigns and retro footage. Elvis’s legacy also remains personal, as news outlets like Taste of Country and DRG News highlighted Priscilla Presley’s interviews recalling how Elvis would disguise himself to attend church for spiritual solace, a detail painting the star as relatable and devout.

Amidst this celebration, some media, like American Songwriter, are musing on Elvis’s tragic decline, with fresh anecdotes about his self-awareness and struggles with fame and addiction. Across platforms, one thing is clear: when it comes to American pop culture, Elvis Presley doesn’t just endure—he dominates headlines, stirs nostalgia, and incites debate, long after his final bow.

THIS IS ELVIS is headlining YouTube’s trending music news this week thanks to the October 24 special that brings the King’s legacy back to center stage with new interviews and rare tributes including a widely shared segment revisiting BB King’s reflections on Elvis’s influence. On the live entertainment front, tribute shows are keeping the Presley flame burning hotter than ever.

Across the pond, the brand-new immersive spectacle Elvis Evolution opened in London. The show’s high-tech blend of digital projections and live performance drew a rush of initial attention, with BBC News previously spotlighting its AI-generated holograms and musical re-creations. However, attendee reviews on Tripadvisor sound a more skeptical note, with comments describing the experience as underwhelming, expensive, and more about immersive narrative than seeing Elvis perform—in fact, several guests called it a letdown considering the steep ticket prices and minimal live Elvis content.

In the U.S., the Texas Elvis Weekend—one of the largest officially Endorsed Elvis Presley Enterprises events—just wrapped up in Waco. ETA Festivals reports that the Las Vegas-style weekend show drew younger and younger fans, a trend attributed to the 2022 biopic and renewed social media interest in Elvis’s music.

Meanwhile, Graceland tours remain a top attraction for Elvis aficionados visiting Memphis, with TripAdvisor listing healthy bookings and glowing reviews for the full-scale Elvis Experience tours that blend music history with a visit to the icon’s home. Merchandise and reissues also remain steady business, with Essentials budget label announcing a commemorative rerelease of Elvis’s debut album set for October 24, which elv75.blogspot.com bills as a key entry in the ongoing cycle of remastered legacy recordings. As for new music, nothing unconfirmed has surfaced—current headlines and festival buzz keep the focus on celebration and commemoration rather than lost tracks or controversial discoveries.

On social media, Elvis tributes remain regular viral fare, but no scandal or truly game-changing news has rocked the Presley brand in recent days. The consensus is clear: tribute shows and immersive experiences are surging, merch is thriving, and the anniversary of key recordings continues to inspire both nostalgia and lively debate within the Elvis community.

It’s been a remarkable few days for the legacy of Elvis Presley with a fresh wave of headlines and public energy swirling around the King of Rock and Roll. The biggest story is the unveiling and upcoming release of the feature documentary concert film EPiC Elvis Presley in Concert which has just been jointly acquired by Neon for domestic US release and Universal Pictures for the global big-screen push. This headline-grabbing project debuted in the official selection at the Toronto International Film Festival and is helmed by Sony Music Vision Bazmark and Authentic Studios. What sets EPiC apart is its trove of never-before-seen footage from Elvis’s 1970s Vegas years enhanced with rare 16mm camera work rediscovered in the Graceland archives and even candid personal audio as Presley tells his own story much of which surfaced during research for Baz Luhrmann’s hit 2022 biopic. Luhrmann himself called the film a dream realized stating that with partners on board Elvis will finally bit by bit get his world tour—a feature not only designed for lifelong Elvis devotees but to introduce the King to new screens and new generations. Coverage of this development has appeared in multiple entertainment trade outlets and is widely viewed as a career-defining moment for the posthumous narrative of Presley.

Off the big screen and onto the business pages Elvis’s estate has continued to make headlines for an ongoing fraud controversy. Riley Keough, Presley’s granddaughter and trustee of the estate, has filed a high-profile lawsuit to thwart what she alleges is a fraudulent attempt to foreclose and sell Graceland. According to reports from the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and BBC, Keough asserts that Naussany Investments & Private Lending tabled forged documents supposedly signed by her late mother, Lisa Marie Presley. In a dramatic twist the notary named on the documents has sworn under affidavit that she never handled such paperwork. This story has ignited a broader national conversation about deed fraud and has thrown a temporary cloud over Graceland’s future, with millions following the updates.

In the fan and nostalgia world Elvis tributes remain electric. A stand-out event is scheduled for October 15 at the Menlo Park Senior Center promising a live Elvis tribute performance and luncheon for local seniors. Meanwhile, the annual Elvis Music Salute during Elvis Week 2025 just dropped a highly shared YouTube highlight featuring legends from Elvis’s backup bands reminiscing and performing gospel hits from the Vegas suite days—its popularity surging across fan channels on Instagram and Facebook. Additionally, the iconic 68 Comeback Special is set for a big-screen return at The Strand Theatre on October 28 reaffirming the King’s impact on the concert-film genre.

For pop culture watchers Elvis also pops up on the social circuit with recent festival appearances including a joint tribute with Elton John at the Hudson County Fair and special brunches dedicated to his music and style at Modernism Week’s October social calendar.

As for his discography, fans can expect a reissue of his debut LP later this month courtesy of Essential Records—a move that cements the hunger for Presley’s earliest and most iconic material as strong as ever.

While rumors occasionally flare online about unreleased recordings or inheritance drama these remain unsubstantiated or speculative for now. The prevailing narrative this week is simple: Elvis continues to make history, stir conversation, and uplift spirits nearly half a century after his passing.

The past few days in the Elvis Presley universe have brought a flurry of headlines, both reverent and revealing, reaffirming his unmistakable grip on popular culture. The most widely circulated story centers on Priscilla Presley, whose new memoir "Softly, As I Leave You" is commanding top spots in Amazon’s actor and entertainer biography lists. Media coverage has zeroed in on Priscilla’s heartfelt retelling of when her late daughter Lisa Marie sold a majority stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises to Bob Sillerman’s CKX, relinquishing 85 percent of the estate. Priscilla, still visibly haunted by that decision, claims Lisa Marie was struggling both financially and personally at the time and didn’t have the best advisors—a move Priscilla frames as a loss of steady legacy income and, in her words, a devastating moment for the family. Notably, this book adds new texture to Priscilla’s life and to the Presley family saga, including post-1985 developments and intimate reflections on tragic family losses. It’s a story likely to echo long-term in the Presley legacy, with even critics acknowledging the book as an essential addition to the canon, and its emotional honesty making headlines everywhere, from the Elvis Information Network to entertainment outlets.

On the music and event front, excitement is building for the new immersive theater experience Elvis Evolution in London, which sets out to reframe the King's legacy using next-generation technology, highlighting stories from his youth and aiming to introduce his music to an even younger audience. This production, unlike ABBA Voyage’s pure hologram approach, leans into Secret Cinema-style storytelling and incorporates fresh perspectives, attempting to address long-standing debates about musical appropriation and cultural roots—a nod, perhaps, toward historical reconciliation for Presley’s legacy. Meanwhile, there’s a new Royal Philharmonic/Elvis tour in the works for 2027 promising never-before-seen footage and big new stage concepts, while rumors swirl of an eventual Elvis hologram show at Graceland sanctioned by the estate, with granddaughter Riley Keough expected to be heavily involved.

Socially and academically, Elvis is capturing attention as a subject of lectures at Florida Southern College, with author Bob Kealing set to discuss how Florida shaped Elvis' career in music and film—a testament to how the King's early years are being continually re-examined in public discourse. The upcoming Elvis Birthday Bash at New Jersey's bergenPAC and special musical tributes during Elvis Week show how demand for Presley performances, impersonators, and celebrations remains undimmed.

Book news includes stepbrother David Stanley teasing the release of “Surviving Elvis” with fan participation in choosing the cover color, though skepticism remains after a previously announced film project stalled. As for social media, Elvis-related hashtags surge every time new Presley content lands—most recently, reactions to Priscilla’s media rounds and buzz about immersive experiences. Amid the crash of headlines, one theme endures: Every new story, event, or public memory only deepens the intrigue around the man whose impact refuses to fade.

The past week for Elvis Presley’s legacy has been nothing short of spectacular with headlines dominated by the world premiere of the Baz Luhrmann-directed documentary EPiC 2025, which debuted to rave reviews and a sold-out crowd at the Toronto International Film Festival. According to Emiel Maier’s October Elvis Presley News Report, the film showcases never-before-seen footage from Elvis’s pivotal Las Vegas residency between 1969 and the 1970s, interweaving both offstage and onstage moments for the first time.

Elvis Presley continues to make headlines and stoke fascination worldwide, even decades after his passing. In just the past few days, multiple developments and stories have made their way through the media and fan circles. One of the most significant headlines is the enthusiastic response to the new movie, EPiC, a feature-length dual portrait charting the complex dynamic between Elvis and his legendary manager Colonel Tom Parker. Emiel Maier's monthly news wrap on Elvis Day By Day and the Elvis Information Network both report that EPiC premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, earning rave reviews from critics for its unprecedented access to never-before-seen correspondence and archival footage. While there's no distribution deal yet, Elvis Presley Enterprises has said they're targeting a theatrical release possibly around Elvis's birthday next year and hinting at a home release with added footage soon after. Given the breadth of new material, especially the digitized hours of MGM film, the movie is poised to deepen biographical understanding for future generations, potentially reshaping perspectives on Elvis’s artistry and longstanding myths about his relationship with Parker.

Meanwhile, new music releases are stirring collectors. The emotional and explosive 1974 Closing Night Las Vegas concert—long a subject of lore among aficionados—has now been officially remastered and will soon be out as The Raging Tiger: Closing Night 1974. The double vinyl collection is especially notable for its raw window into Elvis’s state of mind near the end of one of his famous Vegas stints, with rare tracks and documented onstage outbursts now available in stunning new clarity.

Graceland itself remains a hub of Elvis activity, prepping for the annual Holiday Lighting Weekend from November 20-22. Festivities this year will focus on nighttime concerts and dazzling displays, with EPE’s Joel Weinshanker promising even more immersive Elvis experiences as part of their “March to 2027” expansion plan, including talk of a future Elvis hologram show that could redefine tribute performances.

On the performance circuit, Kansas City hosted The Ultimate Elvis Concert at the Folly Theater on September 26, drawing big crowds and reminding the world why the King's music remains evergreen. Across social media, however, fans are urged to be vigilant: several major outlets, including the Elvis Information Network, have sounded alarms about scam products—such as Advent calendars and alleged Elvis children’s books—that have popped up, especially on Facebook. Consumers are warned to steer clear and only buy from trusted vendors due to repeated reports of fraudulent sellers.

Elsewhere, legacy projects are keeping the King in the public eye. Paul Belard’s new photo book on October 1956 delivers fresh glimpses into key turning-point moments of Elvis’s career, while stepbrother David Stanley announces work on yet another memoir, Surviving Elvis, offering more personal remembrances. And on September 27, When Elvis Met the Beatles premiered as a play in Ogunquit, Maine, dramatizing that legendary and enigmatic moment when two icons converged.

No new social media appearances have come from any verified accounts related to Elvis himself, but his estate’s official channels continue to promote upcoming events and warn of scams. There’s persistent speculation about more unreleased music and immersive future tours, especially leveraging the extensive archival material recently digitized, but these remain in the planning stages according to official comments from Elvis Presley Enterprises.

Finally, the recent passing of Edward Faulkner, a supporting actor in some of Elvis’s films, was noted in community rounds, receiving tributes from fans and fellow performers. In summary, the past few days have been rich with real developments, major...

Elvis Presley’s legacy is as vibrant as ever this autumn, with global fans preparing for Memphis Mansion’s annual Elvis Presley Weekend in Denmark from October 3rd to 5th. This event promises three days filled with live shows and lectures by musicians and authors closely tied to the King’s story, offering fans a fresh chance to connect and relive the magic. In a significant news story, Lisa Findley—a Missouri woman—received over four years in federal prison after orchestrating a fraudulent scheme attempting to auction Graceland, Presley’s famous Memphis estate. Findley’s plot involved falsifying claims that Lisa Marie Presley had used Graceland as collateral on a $4 million loan, a scenario soundly debunked and denounced by authorities. This rightly made headlines, as preserving Graceland’s authenticity is crucial to the Presley legacy, and it serves as a cautionary tale for all involved with high-profile estates.

Graceland itself is prepping for its upcoming Holiday Lighting Weekend in November, promising impressive concerts—a Rockin’ Memphis Christmas and Dean Z’s Ultimate Elvis Christmas Show—performed on the Soundstage. Meanwhile, fans are buzzing about the newly remastered release of one of Elvis’s most controversial live shows: the closing night at the Las Vegas Hilton from September 1974. This emotional set, marked by both powerful performances and raw, unfiltered outbursts from Presley, is hitting the shelves in Black and exclusive Clear vinyl editions. It’s a poignant moment for collectors and biographers alike, as this performance offers rare insight into Presley’s struggles and resilience during turbulent times.

On the media and entertainment front, Baz Luhrmann has announced the world premiere of 'EPiC' Elvis Presley In Concert at the Toronto International Film Festival in early September. This project is fueled by “hundreds of hours” of newly digitized MGM footage and sets the stage for future cinematic and virtual experiences. Elvis Presley Enterprises is also discussing a “Next Generation” Philharmonic tour using these materials, possibly for 2027, and teasing the development of an Elvis hologram show—firmly placed in the realm of upcoming technology, with Riley Keough expected to play a major part.

Social media has brought both excitement and scam warnings. Notably, dubious ‘Elvis Advent Calendars’ and fake Elvis children’s books are circulating, flagged as fraudulent by trusted fan sources. Elvis tribute concerts continue in high demand, most recently with sold-out events like “1969 LIVE The King Returns” and high-profile charity shows, underscoring Presley’s enduring influence. In sum, autumn 2025 for Elvis Presley is marked by high-profile retrospectives, legends defended against fraud, hotly anticipated new releases, and long-term projects discussing how his singular legacy moves into a new era. Speculation about a future hologram show and expanded virtual experiences remains unconfirmed but keeps fans and critics talking.

Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Elvis Presley may have left the building, but he’s everywhere right now, starting with a fascinating—and exclusive—announcement from the Elvis Information Network: the official release of “The Raging Tiger: Closing Night 1974,” a never-before-heard live album drawn from the emotional, drama-filled finale of Elvis’s 1974 Las Vegas summer season. According to the Elite Elvis Information Network, this remastered set drops listeners right into the raw, turbulent energy of that night, with Elvis pouring his heart into songs like “You Gave Me a Mountain,” “If You Talk in Your Sleep,” and “It’s Midnight”—and wrapping up with his infamous, desperate “drug speech” that shocked the audience and still echoes through Elvis lore today. The release will be available in both black and clear vinyl, the latter reserved strictly for collectors and fan clubs—perfect for fans ready to relive, or discover for the first time, one of the King’s most visceral, unfiltered performances. Fans are buzzing: this is a major archival event, and the record will surely be dissected in fan circles for years to come.

On the cinematic front, Baz Luhrmann dropped “EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert” at the Toronto International Film Festival, according to Music Connection and Film Threat. This is not your typical concert film or documentary; Luhrmann painstakingly restored over 50 hours of lost 35mm footage from Elvis’s Vegas heyday, found buried in a Kansas salt mine, and paired it with rare audio, including unheard Elvis monologues. The result is a visual and aural spectacle that covers shows from 1969 to 1976, plus some on-tour footage, offering a fresh, hyper-layered look at Presley in his prime. Industry critics are calling it a “tour de force,” and the word is spreading far beyond hardcore devotees. This project cements Luhrmann (already a heavy hitter in Elvis pop culture) as a central figure in the ongoing reanimation of the Presley legacy for new generations.

In the world of live tribute, the Colorado Elvis Festival is in full swing, reports Colorado Music Live, delivering a three-day marathon of performances, from the early “That Hillbilly Cat” show featuring young artists like Moses Snow and Nevan Castaneda, to a moving Elvis gospel set and a high-energy Vegas-era finale with 2015 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Champion David Lee. The festival, which runs through September 27, is drawing both diehards and curious newcomers, proving Elvis’s live presence—even in recreation—remains a potent draw decades after his death.

On stage, “When Elvis Met the Beatles” continues its run at Maine’s Ogunquit Playhouse, according to the theater’s official site and local media. This new musical dramatizes the legendary (and barely documented) late-night meeting between rock’s two biggest acts in 1965 Los Angeles, weaving myth, music, and imagined dialogue into a production that’s generating buzz—though, crucially, it’s a work of historical fiction, not documentary.

On the negative side, across the pond, “Elvis Evolution” in London is drawing rough reviews on Tripadvisor, with visitors disappointed by the lack of a promised hologram and an overall experience that leans more toward merchandising than meaningful immersion. This stands in stark contrast to the archival excitement and tribute fervor elsewhere in the world.

Business-wise, Authentic Brands Group, owner of Elvis Presley Enterprises, continues to capitalize on the King’s enduring appeal, partnering with Sony Music Vision and Luhrmann on the EPiC project, according to Music Connection. While there’s no major new merchandise drop or business expansion reported this week, these high-profile collaborations suggest Elvis’s brand remains a lucrative, dynamic asset.

Social media, always a hotbed of Elvis activity, shows a surge in discussion around both the “Raging Tiger” release and Luhrmann’s film,...

Baz Luhrmann’s anticipated EPiC Elvis Presley In Concert premiered to a packed house at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, dazzling audiences with a visceral 96 minutes of restored rehearsal and on-stage footage from the King’s legendary Las Vegas era. Critics from Exclaim! and other outlets agree the project is the boldest Elvis film achievement since his death, blending never-before-seen moments and untouchable charisma — a reminder of why Elvis remains an unmatched entertainment icon. Sources at the Elvis Information Network note studio representatives have already digitized “hundreds of hours” of MGM archives for future extended projects and possible feature-length Blu-Ray editions, but no general release date is set, though a January premier to coincide with Elvis’s birthday is being floated.

Meanwhile, Graceland in Memphis continues to draw global fans by the thousands and anchor the Presley legacy, recently playing host to both the Emmy-winning Candlelight Vigil and the boisterous Elvis Week 2025. New exhibits debuted rarely seen memorabilia, including his iconic Jailhouse Rock jacket, TCB sunglasses, and extravagant jewelry, while fan events featured emotional tributes and panel discussions with former bandmates and intimates. In an effort to keep the legend alive for younger generations, Graceland’s future plans include a state-of-the-art Royal Philharmonic/Elvis virtual tour for 2027 and ongoing talk of a next-generation hologram show, with Riley Keough now a central figure. These initiatives, plus outreach by influencers, are designed to ensure Elvis’s reputation continues to evolve — for the better.

Collectors and enthusiasts can look forward to new vinyl releases, including exclusive clear pressings of late-period Vegas performances, and the "Sunset Boulevard" box set celebrated with special listening parties attended by Presley’s inner circle, creating fresh buzz across social media. Of note, Elvis’s music continues to chart internationally and appear in new radio shows and retrospectives, such as Matt Shepherd’s “Golden Years,” which recently previewed just-remixed tracks from the King Creole sessions.

The Presley family name swirled in legal drama again: according to AOL News and Finance Monthly, Priscilla Presley is facing a $50 million lawsuit from her former business partner, with claims pinned to financial dealings and alleged manipulation around Elvis’s death. Her attorney forcefully denies the charges, which industry watchers see as unsubstantiated and likely designed to distract from unrelated financial disputes over memorabilia auctions.

Across the web and social media, celebratory tributes and event replays dominate the Presley conversation, especially clips from EPiC’s TIFF debut, highlights from Elvis Week, and renewed debate about biopic portrayals. The consensus this week: with new footage, grand celebrations, and cultural buzz, Elvis remains not just relevant, but indelibly woven into the evolving story of American music.

Baz Luhrmann just electrified the film world by announcing the world premiere of EPiC, Elvis Presley in Concert, at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, where the director revealed that hundreds of hours of rare MGM footage—now digitized—were leveraged for the project, with a full market release and possible Blu-Ray extension eyed for early next year, potentially around Elvis’s birthday, according to the Elvis Information Network and For Elvis Fans Only. Premature buzz is building: long-standing industry sources say there’s no distributor yet, but the scale and authenticity of the material are expected to make this film the talk of the awards season and a fresh milestone for Elvis’s posthumous reputation.

In the music world, RCA and Legacy have confirmed the imminent release of Elvis Presley: Sunset Boulevard, with 89 rare and previously unheard tracks spanning his 1970s Los Angeles studio sessions, including newly mixed alternate takes of classics like Burning Love and Separate Ways. This box set, out August 1, is already being described by legacy labels as the most comprehensive look yet at Elvis’s late recording career, and industry insiders predict it will ignite a new round of critical appraisal of his final creative years.

On the live stage, impersonators are keeping the Elvis flame blazing, with One Night With The King packing crowds at Club Regent in Winnipeg this past April, starring top tribute artists including Victor Trevino Jr and Bill Cherry, both Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist World Champions as reported by 680 CJOB. Meanwhile, the Royal Philharmonic/Elvis symphonic tour is being planned for 2027 with promises from Elvis Presley Enterprises that the latest found footage will power a next-generation production for new fans.

Away from the music, drama continues with Graceland at the center of legal battles and attempted fraud, most notably the arrest of Lisa Jeanine Findley last August for leading a phony foreclosure scheme involving forged documents and fabricated debts according to the U.S. Justice Department and the New York Times. Graceland remains open, drawing rave reviews on Tripadvisor in 2025 for both its immersive museum experience and for exclusive memorabilia, including newly displayed items like the famous red Jailhouse Rock jacket and personal TCB sunglasses.

Priscilla Presley grabs headlines for battles both personal and public: she is facing a $50 million fraud lawsuit in Los Angeles from former business partners at GWS Auctions, who allege she sabotaged ventures meant to revitalize her brand and misused her role in Elvis’s legacy, as reported by AOL News. The feud brings unresolved tensions over control of Graceland and the Presley financial legacy back into the media spotlight.

Social media has been abuzz in the run-up to the TIFF premiere of EPiC with hashtags like #EPiCElvis and #TIFFKing trending, and photos circulating from Graceland’s sold-out 50th anniversary festival, complete with tribute concerts, living legend speaker appearances, and a flurry of celebrity Elvis impersonator selfies. The momentum shows no sign of slowing, with advance ticket sales already brisk for the next Graceland festival in July 2026. If this week proves anything, it’s that for Elvis Presley, the long tail of legend only grows more indelible.

Baz Luhrmann has set the stage for a historic moment in the Elvis Presley legacy by announcing the world premiere of his much-hyped concert event film EPiC, described as “Elvis Presley in Concert”, at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2025. According to multiple industry sources including the Elvis Information Network and prominent YouTube channels like ElvisPress, this film’s premiere is expected to spark significant conversation as it features only original film and audio footage—no impersonators, no stand-ins, just Elvis himself, digitally restored and reimagined for a new era. Luhrmann personally closed the Sony Music Vision Showcase with this project, where even jaded entertainment insiders broke out in applause. It is being hailed in some quarters as the definitive Elvis presentation for a new generation and marks 45 years since “This Is Elvis” first hit screens.

Meanwhile, Graceland and its immense appeal show no signs of fading. The annual Candlelight Vigil to mark the 47th anniversary of Elvis’s passing drew thousands yet again last month, with the theme song “Welcome To My World” providing a moving backdrop, as reported by ElvisInfoNet and replayed online for global fans. VIP tours of Graceland remain a top travel experience in Memphis, garnering rave reviews for backstage access and exclusive exhibits.

Music collectors are buzzing about Sony’s new “Sunset Boulevard” box set, launched during Elvis Week at a special listening event, which shines a spotlight on Elvis’s storied Los Angeles recording sessions. Simultaneously, FTD has just released “The Last Tours Volume 3,” a 3-CD set documenting six lesser-known concerts from Elvis’s 1977 tour—a boon for completists and historians alike.

In original live entertainment, “When Elvis Met The Beatles,” a play exploring the legendary 1965 encounter, has just opened to audiences at the Ogunquit Playhouse, giving Elvis’s historic intersections with musical peers a theatrical life.

Social media chatter hit fever pitch this week over the “Elvis Evolution” show in London. Despite heavy marketing touting holographic performances and AI resurrection of the King, disappointed Instagram and TripAdvisor users report the absence of an Elvis hologram, calling the show a miss and accusing organizers of over-promising, per firsthand visitor reviews.

On the tribute circuit, all eyes turn to Lynchburg, Virginia, for the fifth annual Elvis Festival, officially licensed by Elvis Presley Enterprises, where tribute artists vie for the chance to compete at Graceland in 2026—a reflection of his enduring influence on performers and fans worldwide.

From major movie headlines to new archival releases and ongoing controversies over modern representations, the past few days have seen Elvis Presley remain as contemporary as ever, reminding the world why the King still matters.

Elvis Presley has been making headlines and cementing his legendary status once again, nearly fifty years after his passing, as a wave of activity has kept his name in constant circulation this past week. As reported by Parade and Graceland’s own channels, anticipation built for Elvis Week 2025 as Graceland unveiled the meticulously restored Red Living Room. This exhibit revives the opulent decor choices Presley made in the mid-1970s—including the famous goddess oil rain lamps that were a source of fascination and pop-culture debate—drawing crowds of fans and design aficionados alike. Also unveiled at the same celebration was Colonel Parker’s World of Showbusiness, an exhibit delving deep into the life and legacy of the man behind the meteoric rise of Presley’s career. With thousands of devoted fans swarming Memphis, Graceland’s new programming and memorabilia displays have drawn significant media attention, reinforcing the mansion’s status as both a living museum and a shrine to rock and roll royalty.

The entertainment world saw a timely stage premiere as the Ogunquit Playhouse debuted When Elvis Met The Beatles, inspired by the famous meeting and cultural intersection between the King and the Fab Four. News outlets covering the event have touted it as a “critics’ pick,” with audiences praising its clever merging of history, tribute, and nostalgia theatre.

Media attention surged as well with releases of collectible music sets. Jailhouse Rock Sessions and Love Me Tender Sessions have been announced in limited edition double vinyl and CD combos, rapidly selling out to collectors across the U.S. and Europe, according to specialty music retailers. Meanwhile, a new set entitled From Hollywood to Vegas offered fans access to rare studio and live Presley recordings, causing a stir among audiophiles.

In the tribute performance circuit, The Elvis Experience, hosted earlier this month at Abington Summer Concerts and promoted heavily on local social platforms, drew fans and regional press coverage, amplified by video features on YouTube and Facebook.

Business-wise, Graceland’s VIP tours and exclusive memorabilia experiences are still booming, with 2025 ticket demand and fan reviews reinforcing Presley’s enduring market power. AOL recently cited Presley’s estate in reporting on the ongoing profitability of classic entertainment legacies, even as Presley’s name surfaced amid oddball scam attempts involving his Memphis home—Graceland itself swiftly debunked any rumors of unauthorized property sales.

On the festival scene, the officially licensed Lynchburg Virginia Elvis Festival kicked off, attracting global talent for its Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist competition and promising headline exposure for Presley’s legacy as his likeness and music continue to captivate fresh generations.

Rounding out personal recollections, Linda Thompson, longtime former companion of Presley, made news this week after a YouTube video surfaced featuring her candid memories, shared publicly at age 75. While she refrained from scandal, her comments injected a dose of personal nostalgia and emotional insight that fueled social media buzz.

Despite being gone nearly half a century, the last week makes clear that for Elvis Presley, the present is always as newsworthy as the past.

In the past few days Elvis Presley’s name has been front and center in news cycles and fan communities worldwide as the 47th anniversary of his passing triggered a new flood of tributes events and critical reassessments of his legacy. Elvis Week 2025 at Graceland concluded August 17 with its signature Candlelight Vigil an event thousands flocked to in Memphis and was broadcast live on SiriusXM’s Elvis Radio where fans shared stories and musical tributes that kept the King's cultural flame burning bright according to SiriusXM. This year’s festivities drew particular attention with themed concerts interviews and exclusive behind-the-scenes programs, amplifying a sense of shared reverence and nostalgia in Memphis and online.

Graceland made headlines last week with the debut of two ambitious new exhibits Colonel Parker’s World of Showbusiness, chronicling the complicated brilliance and controversy of Elvis’s longtime manager and Graceland in Red 1974, spotlighting Elvis's extravagant taste and personal era-defining decor as reported by Resident magazine. The timing was perfect, as the annual global pilgrimage to Graceland gave these exhibits a high-profile public launch and reignited discussions about the roles and relationships that shaped Presley’s career and image.

Meanwhile abroad The Elvis Musical continues to attract crowds at Estrel Showtheater in Berlin through late September, a telling reminder that interest in the King's story remains truly international, according to Berlin.de. Across social media, reels marking the anniversary of Elvis’s last emotional performance have amassed hundreds of thousands of views, with users on Instagram particularly engaging with rare footage and poignant fan remembrances. That social discussion was supercharged by the ongoing popularity of the "Elvis Evolution" immersive exhibition, which Exhibition News notes is both celebrated and debated for how it navigates the complexity of the star's life story and cultural symbolism.

Business news surfaced less prominently, but Graceland’s ongoing partnership with television—most notably hosting the upcoming “General Hospital” Fan Celebration in October, according to BusinessWire—highlights the property’s expanding role as a contemporary pop culture crossroads, not merely a shrine to the past. Regionally, tribute acts like "The Elvis Experience" revues continue to play to local crowds, such as the August 10 show in Abington, feeding a robust and multigenerational demand for Presley’s music and persona.

Graceland has been the epicenter of news for Elvis Presley this past week, as Business Wire reports two new exhibits have just opened at the famed Memphis estate alongside the ongoing “90 for 90” display and the refreshed “Elvis Dressed to Rock” showcase, all welcoming fans throughout 2025.

Musically, there’s fresh movement as well. Elvis’s “Sunset Boulevard” set experienced a chart tumble in the UK—sliding from number five on the Physical Album chart to number seventy-seven and exiting the official UK Top 100, according to the Elvis Information Network, though it did make a modest debut at thirty-three on Billboard’s Top Current Sales chart in the US.

Graceland’s ongoing “Presley for a Day” luxury tours and even tongue-in-cheek talk about selling Graceland oak saplings show the estate doesn’t rest on nostalgia alone, constantly innovating its business for new and old fans alike, as described at Blogger at Large. Across platforms, viral reels of Elvis’s iconic final performances continue to rack up views, blending fan worship and mythmaking, while tribute concerts like “One Night in Memphis” underscore his unyielding hold on American musical imagination. For Elvis Presley, not even the passage of decades dims the spotlight—his legacy, business, and cultural relevance remain thoroughly alive and newsworthy.
