Elvis Week will have virtual King
The annual Elvis Week in the US will this year include the traditional candlelight vigil remembering Elvis Presley's death and a concert featuring a virtual image of the rock icon.
The event draws thousands of fans every year to Graceland, Elvis' long-time home in Memphis, for a celebration of his life and death.
The festivities are set for August 10-16, and this year's highlight is a concert with a live band and real backing singers performing in front on a large LED-screen with a virtual Elvis belting out tunes.
Events also include the finals for the tribute artist contest, a documentary about Sam Phillips, who discovered Elvis, and the vigil at Elvis' grave.
It's been 55 years since Elvis' first US hit, Heartbreak Hotel. The rock and roll legend died on August 16, 1977.
