About this deal

A quote that rings so true when it comes to telling the full story of the life and death of Elvis Aaron Presley.

And yet, when Elvis died on August 16, 1977, he had become something entirely different from his former self. He was always 10-20 years ahead of everybody, whether it was English humour with Monty Python or acting or certainly, we know, music. Having gained some weight in the early 1970s, Elvis Presley trimmed down for his Aloha From Hawaii TV special.In 2020, Glenn Danzig, heavy metal vocalist and frontman of horror-punk act The Misfits, released Danzig Sings Elvis, an album of Elvis covers. It was a major international television/entertainment event; it was the first and last time Elvis ever had such an elaborate production and stage configuration. This was especially true during the last year of his life, when he was deep in his chemical dependency and had left behind many of the loyal friends of his youth. And even in photos you can see a shift: already at the end of 1970 (the famous family pictures) he's beginning to look worse. Hoedel wrote a book about Elvis Presley's health history that was published in 2020 titled ‘Elvis: Destined to Die Young’.

In fact, Danzig's vocal style is so reminiscent of Presley's that he's earned himself the nickname "Evil Elvis," a title he's happy to accept. I also like the fact that he dug out My Baby Left Me, Trying to Get To You, for the Memphis gig, yet was seriously in a comfort-zone on the 1973 Aloha.
