Elvis Presley was only in England once, says a spokesperson for the King's estate, who has denied claims by a theatre producer that the singer secretly visited London in 1958 to see the sights.

"Sgt. Elvis Presley made his only appearance in the U.K. when he stepped off a U.S. Air Force plane at the Prestwick (Scotland) Airport in March of 1960," Kevin Kern of Elvis Presley Enterprises in Memphis, Tenn., said in a statement. "The aircraft made a brief stop to refuel."

For decades, Presley's English fans have accepted that the King of Rock and Roll's only known visit to Britain was that quick stop at Prestwick. An Elvis lounge and a plaque commemorate his stopover there.

But theatre producer Bill Kenwright says Presley made another trip with the help of popular British rocker Tommy Steele, who promised never to reveal that they had gone to famous landmarks together.
