Re: Elvis Costello cancels tour after surgery to remove 'aggressive' tumour

Bad news in the short term but it would appear that he acted quickly.

Good advice to all us men.

Elvis really needs to think of his loved ones, all his family and friends, and rest up.

Re: New Elvis song in "Film Stars Don't Die In Liverpool"

If you log in to ITunes and search for the title you will find the video. I had to sign up for a 3 month trial, which I will have to remember to cancel. Good song, reminds me of something from North.
Looks like the official release, at least in the UK, is 10 Nov.

Re: Elvis on Top of the Pops

Absolutely loads of Elvis on the Top of the Pops repeats on BBC4 recently. First of all The Imposter on the eve of the 1983 elections, 20:40 into this. Good to see the audience clapping along. Nice hat and t-shirt:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b08k50f2/top-of-the-pops-08061983 Then there wa...

From 08:09 minutes in. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b07g9zmn/top-of-the-pops-24121981 Elvis struggling to mime to a re-recorded track which he sings slightly differently to the single/album track. Wizard, Adam and the Ants, Elvis & Attractions, Bucks Fizz is the sequence. Such heady days!

Re: Elvis on Top of the Pops

Look out for the Christmas Eve 1981 edition being broadcast on BBC4 this Thursday. It features Elvis and the boys performing Sweet Dreams. I remember watching it at the time, a little surprised as the song wasn't in the top 40.

Re: Unfaithful Music & Soundtrack album, Oct 2015

A prized possession. I loved that single at the time so much I splashed out on the 12" version (that goes on and on......). It also has a bigger version of the photo! I will have to look at my booklet tonight. I am sure I worked out which picture they were talking about but I don't think it is ...

What terrible news. I met him briefly after the Liverpool Picket show. What a charming gentleman he was.

Re: Jeremy Vine dancing to 'She' on Strictly Come Dancing this weekend

John, you are obviously not a keen follower of the show. They always use the singers and musicians in the studio and never a recorded track....... so I've been told.

Re: Elvis filming in Liverpool today, Sept 28 2015

Mrs. John heard an interview on local radio station Citytalk in which Elvis said that he was taking his two boys to see their Nan and that he was being followed by an American TV crew covering the tour promoting his book.
