Elvis may appear 'live on stage' for Graceland sell-off
Elvis Presley's Graceland mansion, along with his music and rights to his image, are up for sale in a £130-million deal, which could see The King appear "live on stage" more than 35 years after he died.
Elvis Presley's Graceland mansion, along with his music and rights to his image, are up for sale in a £130-million deal, which could see The King appear "live on stage" more than 35 years after he died.
American owner Core Media Group is offering a package that includes royalty rights to 24 of the star's films and numerous TV appearances, the Daily express reported.
"Other future revenue sources include a tribute stage show in an Asian casino hub such as Macau and a massive expansion of Elvis-themed digital and social media projects," media analyst Mike Raia said.
Jack Soden, chief executive of Elvis Enterprises, which was bought by Core from the Presley family for about $66 million dollars in 2004, believes that the virtual technology could even lead to Presley going on tour again, at least in the shape of his digital image.
