Lisa Marie Presley heads for Thurrock Elvis showdown
10:03am Tuesday 4th November 2008
THE daughter of rock ‘n’ roll god Elvis Presley is coming to Thurrock.
Lisa Marie Presley, 40, is set to join more than 250 Elvis impersonators at the Battle of the South competition in Corringham next month.
The former wife of pop star Michael Jackson and Elvis’s only daughter will attend the final show of the contest.
It will see tribute acts of the King fight it out every other Sunday throughout November and December for the title of “Elvis of the South”.
The winning impersonator will also perform in Elvis and Me, a new stage show touring the UK next year.
Dave Black, of Wild Cat Promotions, which is organising the competition, said: “This is massive for Elvis fans and impersonators, they will be over the moon!
“Someone from the Presley family in Essex is unbelievable for them. I’m just not sure we will be able to accommodate all the fans who are going to come, as the capacity of the hall is only 400.
“It’s all been finalised and she is definitely going to show up.”
Lisa Marie will appear at the competition as part of an Anglia TV documentary on the Presleys, and may even take part in the judging.
She will be escorted by a team of 25 security guards while visiting the Village Leisure Club, in Southend Road, on December 21.
Elvis impersonator Peter Kilbane, 43, of Deacon Drive, Basildon, won a place in the competition after fending off rival acts in a contest in Great Yarmouth.
Mr Kilbane, a builder, said he was excited about the possibility of performing in front of Elvis’s daughter.
He said: “I’m very excited about this. It’s the closest I’ll ever get to Elvis!
“I would be very nervous about performing in front of her.”
The Battle of the South competition starts on November 16, at 2pm, and will also feature impersonator Dave Bates, from Corringham.
