Elvis 'made secret London visit'

Elvis Presley made a secret visit to England 50 years ago, it has been claimed.
The King took in the sights of London, including the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace, in 1958 with singer Tommy Steele.
Fans have always thought that the nearest Elvis came to setting foot on English soil was a brief stopover at Prestwick airport in Scotland in 1960, on his way home from his army base in Germany. But the truth was blurted out on the radio on Monday by theatre producer Bill Kenwright, 62, a friend of former teen idol Steele.

Yeah i have read this in the news today.

Im afraid this event did not happen.

What Bill Kenwright fails to realise is how much Elvis fans know about Elvis.

When Elvis was in Germany doing his National service the only time he went out of that country was two visits to Paris, one in June '59 and the other in Jan '60.

On March 7th '60, Elvis gave a press conference from Vernon's office at Graceland and stated the only time he went anywhere was to Paris.

In a few more interviews, one with Peter Noone in 1965, he mentioned that he has never been to England and would like to go.

If this trip did take place, word would have got out that he was there.It would have been impossible for Elvis to have seen the sites Bill Kenwright claims he saw without being seen or any reporters finding out about it.

Plus the fact that he would have to go through customs etc.Plus also the fact that Elvis didnt go anywhere without at least one of his friends.

Every single person connected with Elvis, including his army friends have never remarked about this 'so-called' trip to London.

Nice story but completely untrue.
