THE king is dead. Long live the king. Elvis fans are in for a treat as Elvis Aaron Presley Junior, affirmed by the Nevada State Court to be the true son of Elvis Presley, will appear in concert at Blackpool's Opera House on December 11.

Elvis Jr, whose mother was a young actress, was adopted and brought up in a circus family. He first entered the limelight as a five-year-old clown and later trained exotic cats.

But his talent as a musician and entertainer shone through and his loving tribute to his father's work will delight Elvis fans.

Elvis Jr will also perform his own music to captivate audiences and continue the Presley legacy of legendary songs. And his look, style, grace and demeanour show that the King's mystique carries on.
