Veteran entertainer BRENDAN BOWYER will pay
tribute to late rock legend ELVIS PRESLEY on a
new duets album, marking the 30th anniversary of
the star's death. The former front man of THE
ROYAL SHOWBAND - who experienced chart success
in Ireland with the song THANK YOU, ELVIS in
1977 believes he owes his musical success to his
hero. Bowyer recalls meeting his idol when
Presley paid him a visit in Las Vegas. He says,
"It was Elvis who inspired me to be a singer, so
imagine the thrill I experienced when he came to
see me perform in Las Vegas." Other artists
featured on the commemorative album include VAN
MORRISON, PAUL BRADY, SHANE MACGOWAN and LIAM
O'MAONLAI.
