Elvis Presley visited England in 1958 for a day of sightseeing, according to theatre producer Bill Kenwright.
Until now, it had been thought Presley’s closest brush with the United Kingdom was a brief stop at Scotland’s Prestwick airport en route to America from a Germany army base.
However, Kenwright, a long time friend of Tommy Steele, claims that Presley made a secret visit to England for a day of sightseeing with Steele.
Speaking to Ken Bruce on BBC Radio 2 yesterday (Aopril 22nd), Kenwright said: "Elvis came to England! Nobody thinks he did, and I hope Tommy doesn't go mad when he hears this..."
Kenwright said that Steele and Presley had spent a day in London and that Steele “showed him round the Houses of Parliament."
