VOR 65 JAHREN GAB ELVIS SEIN LETZTES KONZERT IM AUSLAND
Teilen
Angesichts der weltweiten Popularität von Elvis Presley, bleibt der Umstand bis heute kurios, dass er lediglich fünf Konzerte außerhalb der USA gab. Jeweils zwei in Toronto und Ottawa und eines in Vancouver. Dieses fand am 31. August 1957 im Empire Stadium vor rund 20.000 Fans statt (die Publikumsangaben schwanken in den seriösen Quellen. Einige sprechen von 16.000.) Wegen der hysterischen Mädchen wurde die Show frühzeitig abgebrochen. In der lokalen Zeitung "Vancouver Province" wurde der Auftritt skandalisiert und als "subventionierter Sex" bezeichnet. Es soll noch einen spontanen Auftritt während seines Urlaubs vom Militärdienst in Paris gegeben haben. Der gilt aber nicht als offiziell.

Because of the hysterical girls, the show was stopped early. In the local newspaper "Vancouver Province" the performance was scandalized as "subsidized sex". There is said to have been another spontaneous performance in Paris during his leave from military service. However, this is not considered official.
