Tommy Steele Confirms Elvis Made Secret Visit To The UK
Share

Former rocker Tommy Steele has confirmed that he took Elvis Presley on a secret tour of London in 1958.

In a note given to the Daily Mail, Steele said that he sworn “never to divulge publicly" any information about Presley’s visit.

"I can only hope he [Presley] can forgive me,” Steele added.

"It was an event shared by two young men sharing the same love of their music and the same thrill of achieving something unimaginable."

Previously it was believed that Elvis had only visited the United Kingdom once in his lifetime during a stop-over at Prestwick Airport en route to America in 1960.

Steele’s secret was revealed earlier this week by theatre producer Bill Kenwright who made the revelation during an interview with BBC Radio 2’s Ken Bruce.

According to Kenwright, Steele told him that Elvis had taken in the Houses of Parliament on his tour.
