The Italian publisher Diarkos announced the October 10, 2023 release of a new edition of Paolo Borgognone's 2022 book 'Io, Elvis'. This new edition contains 32 extra pages.
Publicity for the 496-page paperback book stated: What other 20th century artist has managed to embody, like Elvis, the perfect prototype of the pop (and rock) icon at 360 degrees? Music, cinema, culture, society ... Everything speaks - and has always spoken - of the King of Rock 'n' Roll.
Borgognone recounts his ascent to the pinnacle of fame which, analyzed from an alternative point of view, also represents a path in reverse, or rather a descent through the torments and fears of a simple man: Elvis Aaron Presley. The terrible poverty of his birth, the death of his twin in childbirth, the bullying suffered at school, the difficult beginnings of his career, the extravagance during the first great success and the call to arms.
Among unpublished curiosities and exclusive interviews, the book traces a human (and earthly) story that ended tragically on August 16, 1977, but indelibly carved into the firmament of world music.
(More) Permanent Lisa Marie Presley Exhibition
The managing partner of Graceland, Joel Weinshanker, revealed on his new 'Inside Graceland' radio show on SiriusFM that for Lisa Marie Presley's birthday in February 2024, Graceland will display a "much larger, more substantial permanent exhibit about Lisa Marie".
He also revealed that the 'Making of the ELVIS movie" exhibition will be extended from September 2023 to early 2024.
For long-range plans, he said that in the next 5-10 years they are planning on building a hangar for the Elvis' planes at Graceland which will serve as an event space.
