Austin Butler, who stirred excitement playing the King of Rock 'n' Roll in the musical biopic Elvis, earning him an Oscar last year, is now focusing his attention on the Presley family.
NBC recently announced a special program, "Christmas at Graceland," for the upcoming holiday season. "My family and I are thrilled to be opening Graceland in this special. With musical performances inspired by my grandfather Elvis's Christmas in Memphis, viewers will be invited to experience the magic of Christmas at Graceland firsthand," said executive producer Riley Keough, actress and granddaughter of Elvis Presley.
In December 1968, NBC broadcast a special concert by Elvis Presley, and he has since become an icon.
Elvis Presley isn't the only member of his family getting attention right now. Recently, the wife of the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Priscilla Presley, appeared at the Venice Film Festival 2023 for the premiere of Sofia Coppola's film * Priscilla* , which tells the story of her relationship with Elvis.

Additionally, there's the CNN documentary Little Richard: I Am Everything, which chronicles the life of rocker Little Richard, who died of bone cancer in 2020. Directed by renowned filmmaker Lisa Cortés, the film combines the perspectives of music legends and intellectuals with Little Richard's own account of his life and career.
While Steven Tyler's (75) vocal cord injury delayed several Aerosmith performances (scheduled to continue until February 2024), guitarist Joe Perry (73) recently spoke to Classic Rock magazine about what rock music means to him. " I started learning guitar seriously, even though it was late. Becoming a star or an idol isn't at the top of my list. Being on stage with other artists, playing music is the joy of living, that's all," Joe Perry told CNN .
Rock 'n' Roll originated in the early 1950s in the United States, then developed into many different genres from the 1960s in the UK and the US. The late 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s were the "golden years" of rock music. By the 2000s, Rock 'n' Roll seemed to lose its appeal, giving way to rap. Famous Rock 'n' Roll artists and bands include Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Jimmy Hendrix, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, and many others.
