On August 16, 1977 Elvis suffered a fatal heart attack at the age of just 42.
The King of Rock and Roll is seen as one of the most iconic musicians of the last century and his impact is still felt in the industry today.
Now Elvis On Tour The Exhibition is ready to hit London’s The O2, chronicling the King’s influence in popular culture on music, movies and personal style.
The exhibition focuses on 1969-1977 and includes many items seen in the 1972 documentary, Elvis on Tour.
Elvis On Tour: The Exhibition opens from November 3 and tickets go on sale this Friday.
Fans will be able to see 35 of his most famous jumpsuits and costumes, his guitars from the period, and tour equipment like his golden microphone and that famous Las Vegas belt.
Standard individual tickets cost £27.50, while family tickets are £66.
The new display follows on from the huge success of Elvis at The O2, which was visited by over 200,000 people in 2014 and 2015.
Priscilla Presley said: “To have a second exhibition dedicated to Elvis opening in London is remarkable. We were overwhelmed by the huge numbers, who were not only fans but people who were curious to learn more about Elvis, who visited the last exhibition at The O2.”
She added: “Elvis was beloved by his fans and they also meant the world to him. We are delighted that this carefully curated selection of over 200 artefacts from the Graceland archives will give them the opportunity to gain an even greater insight into his life and how he impacted popular culture around the world through his music, movies and personal style.
“Lisa and I are excited to share these treasured memories that cover 1969 – 1977 for this unique exhibition in London.”
Tickets for Elvis On Tour: The Exhibition go on sale Friday at 9am here.
