Every Elvis Presley Fan Should Know These Amazing Facts about The Music Legend
He never toured outside North America
Although he was great performing, Elvis has always been a shy kid. In fact, when a local radio show gave him the opportunity to sing live on air, he turned it down even though the audience would only hear his voice and not see his face. But he went on to become a great performer who audiences loved to watch, he even needed a lot of security from bodyguards because his female fans went gaga over him. However, it was unfortunate for his fans abroad that they never got the opportunity to watch the King live, because aside from a 1957 tour in Canada, he never performed anywhere else outside the US. Some assumed it was because of his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, who was an illegal immigrant from Holland. Touring abroad meant Parker had to obtain a passport, which he couldn’t possibly do back then.
