Priscilla Presley To Accept Award On Behalf Of Elvis

October 25, 2004 | People
Priscilla Presley, 59, will attend the live finale of Channel 4's UK Hall of Fame series, which honours the all-time greats of popular music. Though notoriously publicity shy, Priscilla has agreed to pick up an award marking Presley's outstanding contribution.

Viewers were asked to vote on a shortlist of 10 artists from each decade. The winning five acts will be honoured in a ceremony at the Hackney Empire, East London, on November 11. Presley, The Beatles, Bob Marley, Madonna and U2 have already been elected founding members because of their huge impact on the British music scene.

Dear Sir/ Madam, I am very glad that Priscilla Presley will accept award on behalf of Elvis. This ceremony will be held on November 11 they will be Beatles,Bob Marley, Madonna and also to U2. It is the time to get this kind of award because today in our music history we lost the famous singer Elvis Presley more than 27 years ago. Iam very happy that Priscilla will never forget Elvis dream in her life that if Elvis is still alive today he used tell his fans my god today i am still alive and also it seems i am very young today he used to joke like that. Priscilla is always in Elvis's heart we will shared his feelings from her when she will come in the stage she will remind us those days that Elvis was popular among the fans. I will never forget Elvis in my life. I love him very much with my whole heart. your's fan, Adib Reza

Hi, Not to be negative about the other comments here but, I can't see how Priscilla accepting an ELVIS award proves she truly loves him? ELVIS is her financial life and her claim to everything she has today. I wouldn't doubt that the politics of big business would make her feel she should accept the award and say a few words. The least she could do for all he has brought to her life.... she is ELVIS' representative now!

elvis shouldve got that award many years ago. but its nice to see him recieving awards. im only 25 years old but elvis has impacted my life in a way that is very odd for a kid my age. or is it so odd? elvis is more popular now than hes ever been. and now with the fiasco of ashlee simpson on snl us fans should be very proud that elvis never lyp synched at his concerts or anything like that. but anyways shouldnt elvis be voted for a lifetime achievement award? cuz afterall he has done alot for people in life and in death. he has donated to charities and helped the poor in life as well as what the epe does now to keep elvis' rep intact. and he was the biggest selling recording artist of alltime and he was the highest paid actor in hollywood at one time. something other award winners cannot say for themselves

Priscilla has no business to accept any award given to Elvis should be Lisa because she is his daugther. Priscilla used and abused him in death to gain her own wealth and should have nothing to do with anything given in Elvis' name.

Lisa should really be the one to accept her Father's Accolades. She appears to be more interested in her own life and doesn't get the conection of "family". At least Priscilla loved Elvis for many years and because you part doesn't take that love away. If it wern't for Prisilla's business savy our Elvis Empire would not be here to the degree it is now and we all like benefiting from that. She took an ailing entity and made it grow and now it grows more. Do we get something for it? Yes,being able to visit Graceland and the never ending events which take much work to orchestrate,'Priscilla loves him many year before the marriage, during the marriage and many more years after the divorce. He loved her too. When will lisa just "let go" and let her bear her soul to the fans that her Dad was the greatest and she should step up front and be proud! She would also collect a whole miriad of Elvis Fans. She should keep the music in mind with all the ages of his fans. We're never too old to listen to a new Elvis Sond. She's got time to do it with March 5.2005 for CD Release. If she would just get down to the fans needs they would love her.I wish them all well.Oldie56

Priscilla still loves Elvis? Funny cause she didn't love him when he was alive. She took Lisa Marie and walk out on Elvis into the arms of Mike Stone. But all these years she did not want to loose that goldmine PRESLEY name. That's why she stayed unmarried, living in sin (out of wedlock)with her curent father of her child. What she really love is the Fame & Fortune in the name of PRESLEY. So sad, disgraceful but true.

Thanks to God Elvis Presley was rewarded and I am very happy. And i will type to you other story many years ago, many years ago. Elvis Presley was not already among us but he was rewarded with a great trophy and immense recognition that was collected by some human beings to whom always I will be grateful since was not that woman. I will not type her names but thanks to God was not that woman. I am very angry because I do not read the name of Elvis Presley in this new and the news was confuse, only the surname Presley and that woman is nothig. That woman used him and abused him in life and death. Elvis never loved her because that woman was chosen by the colonel for to be his wife, by the colonel. I read her "book: Elvis and me" and Is increible like the fans of Elvis bite the hook. It is increible like that woman mocks of you., account as did tampa to be graduated, as he liked to drink beer in a pub (when was a brat) with the first stranger presuming its badly of loves. It is increible like that woman removes her the money by the surname. I understand the real sense of the "book" and is necesary read between lies for to find the truth. I saw many errors in dates, datas in "her book: Elvis and me". She is Priscilla Ann Beaulieu, lover of Garibaldi. As CD King wrote on October 27, 2004: That's why she stayed unmarried, living in sin (out of wedlock)with her curent father of her child. Without Elvis Presley, that woman will die of hunger. Elvis Presley was the rewarded no that woman.

Once again Lisa shows her non -interest instead of the pride she should feel as his daughter. The sole heir of EPE has always sent her mother, Elvis' ex wife ,to accept the awards. Priscilla's claim to fame is taking her daughter's place at these honors. My blood boils at this disrespect to Elvis! What a slap in the face to him!

I would just like to say that I happen to like Priscilla, i know that she divoreced elvis and that was bad , but i truly believe she did and still does love elvis, i split for a longterm boyfriends ages ago but we r the best of friends and i will love him always and for ever. Priscilla has every right to be there to accept the award, she shared the best days of her life with the king and gave him his one and onlychild , whom he cherished.
