The American mockumentary 'Daisy Jones & The Six', featuring Elvis Presley's granddaughter Riley Keough as Daisy Jones premiered on Amazon Prime Video. The streaming television miniseries (10 episodes) follows "a rock band in the 1970s from their rise in the LA music scene to becoming one of the most famous bands in the world and explores the reason behind their split at the height of their success." The Amazon Prime Video series is based on Taylor Jenkins Reid's book of the same name, which the author describes was partly inspired by her experience growing up and by watching Fleetwood Mac performances on television.
In this series Riley Keough debuts as a singer and there are some small hints and tribute to her grandfather.
New Interview
A new interview appeared on YouTube yesterday. A local reporter got lucky when Elvis Presley touched down on June 28, 1973 at Lambert Field for a concert at the Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis.
