LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Not even death can stop Elvis.
Presley's most recent album debuted at No. 1 in 18 territories around the world, just after the 25th anniversary of his death. NBC and RCA are celebrating his lasting popularity with "Elvis Lives," a collection of stories, observations and opinions about Presley?s importance.
The hour-long special will honor his enduring legacy with commentary and performances by today?s top musical acts, including Bono, Tom Petty, Sheryl Crow, No Doubt, Dave Matthews and Britney Spears. Other celebrities expected to make an appearance on the program are Dennis Hopper ("24"), Denis Leary ("The Job") and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler.
"NBC hit gold with Presley?s 1968 ?Comeback Special? and our recent broadcast of ?Loving You? on the anniversary of his passing," says Jeff Gaspin, EVP of Alternative Series, Longform and Program Strategy for NBC. "We look forward to celebrating his legacy with a new generation of fans who are now discovering his music."
"We are thrilled to join forces with NBC to make Elvis? incredible legacy come alive for TV viewers and for the music fans who have made ?Elvis 30 No. 1 Hits? a No. 1 album," says Bob Jamieson, chairman of RCA Music Group. "The caliber of the artists and celebrities who have signed on to this project speaks volumes about Elvis? tremendous influence."
"Elvis Lives" is expected to air in late November or December on NBC.
