Elvis statue ‘all shook
up’
Vandals have shaken Henderson’s Elvis memorial plaque to its foundations at Cranwell Park.
The marble statue of Elvis Aaron Presley erected by the Memories of Elvis Fan Club in 2000 was found knocked off its block this morning by local residents.
While the base plinth is intact, Elvis and his guitar took a beating and have parted company.
“The Elvis memorial is not a Council-owned asset. The contractors will hold the pieces until the fan club decides what it wants to do with them,” says Henderson Ward councillor Ross Dallow.
