When booking tickets be very careful as there is an impersonator show called 'If I Can Dream' with advertising built around the album and the person concerned has even hired a couple of members of the RPO to join him on stage so that he can claim he has backing by the RPO. His shows are in May with one at the Indigo Theatre at the 02 in London. You have been warned. Brian

Elvis Presley scores new chart record with 12th UK Number 1
IICD has now officially sold over 1 million units in the UK. Sony Music Entertainment is delighted to announce the phenomenal No.1 album by the undisputed King of Rock N’ Roll, If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is now officially a million seller – after breaking through the symbolic milestone in the UK. If I Can Dream spent two weeks at No.1 and it has never left the Top 20 since its release at the end of October. It was the second biggest selling new release of 2015, behind only Adele, and made Elvis the first solo artist to ever have a UK No.1 album in five different decades beginning in 1956 with Rock ‘N’ Roll. It is an astonishing achievement, made even more remarkable by the fact Elvis passed away more than 38 years ago. Executive producer Priscilla Presley said: “Once again the UK has shown how much they love and adore Elvis. This is an album that Elvis always really wanted to do and he would be so pleased to know that we have touched one million fans. I want to thank you with all my heart, helping us realise an unfulfilled dream” Watch her video message here https://youtu.be/2niug1NvQRw If I Can Dream: Elvis Presley With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is a remarkable album that features classic Elvis vocal performances with brand new orchestral accompaniments including a duet with Michael Bublé. Elvis is the biggest-selling solo artist of all time, having astonishingly sold more than one billion records worldwide. Brian

Riviera Boulevard To Be Renamed Elvis Presley Way
By Norm Clarke Las Vegas Review-Journal Almost four decades after his death, Elvis Presley is getting a street named after him in the city where he rocketed back to prominence. The rumor is true, Clark Country Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani said. With the upcoming implosion of the Riviera hotel-casino, Riviera Boulevard will be renamed Elvis Presley Way, she said. It will start at Las Vegas Boulevard, cross Paradise Road and loop through the valet area of the Westgate, where Elvis launched his comeback in 1969 when Kirk Kerkorian opened The International. The name was later changed to the Las Vegas Hilton and the LVH before time-share king David Siegel bought the property in summer 2014 and renamed it Westgate, after his Florida-based company. Giunchigliani said Siegel's representatives met recently with her planning staff to start the renaming process. Siegel wants Elvis Presley Way to help market the hotel and the Elvis exhibit that was loaned to him by Graceland. Giunchigliani said the Riviera sign at the intersection of Riviera Boulevard and Paradise Road will be removed. "We'll try to put it some place appropriate; maybe the (Neon) Boneyard will take it or some place along those lines," she said. I asked whether she could confirm the rumor that Siegel is planning to build a boutique hotel and a water feature in the 20-some acres in front of the building. "I have not heard that," she said. Naming a street in Presley's honor is long overdue. "The King of Rock 'n' Roll" had an eight-year run of sellouts in the 1,150-seat main theater. For years his official record of sold-out shows from July 1969 to December 1976 was listed as 837. But Graceland's chief archivist, Angie Marchese, after researching Presley's Las Vegas years, revised the number to 636 last year as Graceland's partnership with Westgate was being worked out. Presley died Aug. 16, 1977. He was 42. Las Vegas Review-Journal reader Joe Stanhibel, who has been pushing for the Elvis honor for some time, said the only two streets he found were Elvis Presley Court near Jones Boulevard and Grand Teton Drive and Elvis Alive Drive off state Route 157 near U.S. Highway 95.
