Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

The legacy of Elvis Presley has once again grabbed headlines and fan attention in recent days as Graceland prepares for the much-anticipated Elvis Week 2025 which will run from August 8 to 16, drawing thousands of fans globally for what is being billed as an unforgettable celebration. Parade reports that this year’s festivities will host special guests including Linda Thompson, Jerry Schilling, Tony Orlando, Brenda Lee, and legendary biographer Peter Guralnick, with a packed schedule of music, contests, panels, and fan meet-ups. Adding to the nostalgia, Graceland is showcasing the iconic blue 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 60, marking its 70th year and cementing its place as a rock and roll symbol.

Social media channels are counting down the days, with the official Visit Graceland Instagram generating excitement as posts capture the softer side of Elvis’s former Memphis mansion. Notably, Graceland will once again livestream the annual Candlelight Vigil on August 15, allowing fans from afar to participate in the emotional remembrance.

Musically, RCA and Legacy Recordings made waves with news of the upcoming “Elvis Presley: Sunset Boulevard” 5-CD box set, set for release on August 1. The Elvis Information Network reveals this ambitious project will feature 89 tracks, including rare studio material from 1970 to 1975, never-before-heard mixes, and a 2-LP highlights edition, promising to deepen the catalog and potentially ignite fresh critical and commercial interest in the King’s studio years. Social buzz has amplified with Elvis authors and superfans sharing excitement on Instagram and audio promos for the box set already making the rounds.

Meanwhile, the business of Elvis remains vibrant. The Guest House at Graceland will host the Black Chamber of Memphis’s Building Wealth in Our Community Symposium, underscoring the estate’s ongoing role as a cultural and economic hub beyond music. Priscilla Presley’s recent appearances continue to reinforce how she has transformed the Presley brand into a global force, as highlighted in event promotions and retrospective features.

Tribute events are keeping the performance spirit alive with “Elvis: In Person” starring Matt Stone, which is slated for July 20 in Bloomington, further testament to Elvis’s enduring live appeal.

On social media, vintage footage and references to Elvis’s charisma circulate steadily, from footage of his historic New York press conferences to playful nods in fan videos repeating his classic phrases.

No significant controversies or unconfirmed rumors have emerged in the last few days, and speculation about Elvis is largely confined to long-standing questions surrounding his death, as recounted in recent book reviews rather than hard news. Instead, the focus squarely remains on celebrating his art, his influence, and the ever-growing community that keeps the King’s memory alive as a living legacy.
