If Elvis Presley had lived long enough to celebrate his upcoming birthday, there’s no question he’d be the greatest living pop star on the planet. But stars like him burn hot and fast, and history takes over once they’re gone, building legacies and legends that take on lives of their own. This is how it is with The King, who would have turned 78 on January 8th, and how his indelible mark on pop music still deeply resounds around the world. With an army of impersonators, wannabes, and torch-bearers, it’s not like he’s deceased, he’s simply… transformed. The king is dead. Long live the king. With Roy Kay Combo, Marti Brom, Petunia, Davidson Hart Kingsbery, Evan Foster, Steve Davis, Peterman Sisters, Liam Fitzgerald, Angelatini, Kelly Van Camp. GWENDOLYN ELLIOTT
