Upon the announcement ofChristmas at Gracelandin September, theDaisy Jones and the Sixstar, 34, who is among the executive producers for the event, shared a statement in a press release.
“My family and I are elated to open the doors to Graceland in this first-of-its-kind special,” Keough said. “With intimate musical performances drawing inspiration from my grandfather Elvis’s cherished Christmases in Memphis, viewers will be invited to experience firsthand the magic that isChristmas at Graceland.”
Throughout his career, Presley became associated with the holiday season for both his original songs and renditions of Christmas classics, which remain seasonal staples today. The King released two full-length Christmas albums: 1957’sElvis’ Christmas Album, featuring hits like “Blue Christmas,” and 1971’sElvis Sings the Wonderful World of Christmas. He also famously released what’s become known asThe Comeback Specialin December 1968, which was supposed to be a traditional Christmas special, and he orchestrated it to be a more eclectic televised concert.
