Description
Elvis '57: The Final Fifties Tours is a behind-the-scenes look at the King of Rock 'n' Roll's most exciting tours of 1957. This year marked a pivotal moment in Elvis's career, with six chart-topping singles, one movie, and two more in the works. As the military draft loomed, Elvis took to the road for three short tours, performing to audiences of up to a quarter of a million people strong. The result was a year of controversy and pandemonium, with fans and disc jockeys alike drawn to the charismatic performer. From the iconic gold lamé suit worn in Chicago to the chaotic scenes in Vancouver, British Columbia, where thousands rushed the stage, Alan Hanson brings the story to life through first-hand accounts from those who were there. This book is a thrilling account of the most exciting tours of Elvis's career, offering a unique glimpse into the King's final year before his U.S. Army service.
