Elvis Presley riceverà la MEDAGLIA PRESIDENZIALE DELLA LIBERTÀ 
(Presidential Medal of Freedom)


Il Re “rimane un’icona Americana che tuttora dura decenni dopo la sua morte”, afferma l’amministrazione Trump a riguardo di un’onorificenza postuma
Elvis Presley è tra i sette “persone che si sono distinte” e che riceveranno da Trump la Medaglia Presidenziale della libertà, con una cerimonia il 16 novembre
Sabato, la segreteria di stampa tramite un comunicato ha comunicato che anche il grande  Yankee Babe Ruth e il giudice della corte suprema di Giustizia, Justice Antonin Scalia, riceveranno in modo postumo il premio prestigioso considerato “La più grande onorificenza civile che solo dal Presidente può riconoscere a persone che hanno dato un contributo meritorio alla sicurezza o agli interessi nazionali degli Stati Uniti, la pace nel mondo o per altri sforzi pubblici o privati con finalità significative “
La Casa Bianca ha affermato il merito secondo cui “Elvis Presley ha determinato e trasmesso la cultura Americana a miliardi di fans adoranti in tutto il mondo. Elvis ha fuso il gospel, il country e il rythm & blues creando un sound tutto suo e vendendo più in un miliardo di dischi”
 “Elvis ha anche servito per 2 anni l’esercito degli Stati Uniti, accettando umilmente, nonostante la sua fama, la chiamata per servire il paese. Inoltre ha recitato in 31 films, ha attirato un pubblico da record ai suoi concerti, ha aumentato gli share televisivi e ha avuto 14 nominations ai Grammy Award. Inoltre ha vinto 3 Grammy Award per la sua musica gospel. Elvis Presley rimane un’icona che tuttora dura da decenni dopo la sua morte”
Mentre per i musicisti è comune ricevere la Presidential Medal of Freedom . onorificenza che durante la presidenza Obama ha incluso Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Gloria Estefan, Diana Ross, Loretta Lynn and Bruce Springsteen – Presley è solo il 3° musicista a ricevere un’onorificenza postuma, seguendo Meredith Willson e il grande jazzista  Count Basie avvenuta durante l’amministrazione  Reagan
Poiché l’industria dell’intrattenimento ha  ampiamente snobbato Trump durante la sua presidenza, l’amministrazione invece ha optato per dare un’onorificenza alle icone Americane, quali Elvis Presley e Rush, con la cerimonia che avverrà nel 2018.
Inoltre riceveranno la Presidential Medal of Freedom anche il Senatore Orrin Hatch, Alan Page  quarterback della squadra di football del Dallas Cowboys, Roger Staubach,  nonché la repubblicana mega donatrice Miriam Adelson

Elvis Presley is among the seven “distinguished individuals” that will receive a Presidential Medal of Freedom from Donald Trump at a November 16th ceremony.
Yankees great Babe Ruth and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia will also posthumously receive the prestigious award, “the Nation’s highest civilian honor, which may be awarded by the President to individuals who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors,” the Office of the Press Secretary said in a statement Saturday.
“Elvis Presley defined American culture to billions of adoring fans around the world. Elvis fused gospel, country, and rhythm and blues to create a sound all his own, selling more than a billion records,” The White House said of the honor.
“Elvis also served nearly 2 years in the United States Army, humbly accepting the call to serve despite his fame. He later starred in 31 films, drew record-breaking audiences to his shows, sent television ratings soaring, and earned 14 Grammy Award nominations. He ultimately won 3 Grammy Awards for his gospel music. Elvis Presley remains an enduring American icon four decades after his death.”
While its common for musicians to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom – honorees during the Obama administration included Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Gloria Estefan, Diana Ross, Loretta Lynn and Bruce Springsteen – Presley is only the third musician to receive the honor posthumously, following bandleader Meredith Willson and jazz great Count Basie during the Reagan administration.
As the entertainment industry has largely cold-shouldered Trump during his presidency, the administration instead opted to honor late American icons, like Presley and Ruth, for the 2018 ceremony.
Senator Orrin Hatch, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach, football player-turned-judge Alan Page and Republican mega-donor Miriam Adelson will also receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

TRADUZIONE INTEGRALE DELL'INTERVISTA DEL 10 AGOSTO 2018 A LISA MARIE NELLA CAPPELLA DI GRACELAND.
Traduzione integrale di Loretta Fornezza
In fondo potrete trovare l'intervista originale e il video 



La 50enne ha parlato al Todays Show in un’intervista avvenuta nella casa dove ha trascorso l’infanzia, andata in onda venerdì. Il suo nuovo album Elvis Presley: Where No One Stands Alone è uscito lo stesso giorno



http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6048779/Lisa-Marie-Presley-reveals-shes-proud-overcome-drug-addiction-talks-new-album.html?ito=email_share_article-top




Lisa Marie rivela di essere “orgogliosa” di aver superato la dipendenza da droghe e parla del nuovo album di Elvis


By Bobbie Whiteman For Dailymail.com

Ha avuto alcuni anni duri e la figlia di Elvia Presley, Lisa Marie, non ha ancora superati tutti i suoi problemi

Superamento: La famosa 50enne ha rivelato che la sua terapista la ritiene un miracolo e non sa come possa essere ancora viva dopo la sua battaglia con la droga

“Ho percorso una strada lunga, non ero felice” ammette Lisa Marie, aggiungendo che i suoi problemi con le droghe sono iniziati quando aveva 45 anni.





Sconfitti i suoi demoni, in un’intervista al The Todays Shows di Jenna Bush, andata in onda venerdì, la 50enne Lisa Marie, ha rivelato di essere “orgogliosa” della sua guarigione dalla dipendenza da droghe

Lisa Marie ha aggiunto che persino il suo terapista ritiene che lei sia un miracolo e non sa come possa ancora essere viva

“Non sono perfetta, mio padre non era perfetto, nessuno è perfetto. E’ importante quello che fai dopo aver imparato – e poi cerchi di aiutare gli altri con la tua esperienza” ha dichiarato Lisa Marie, la 50enne mamma di 4 figli.


Nuova musica: Nella sua intervista, avvenuta nella sua casa d’infanzia Graceland a Memphis, TN andata in onda venerdì, in contemporanea alla pubblicazione del suo album, Elvis Presley: Where No One Stands Alone,



Qui con il suo amato papà: Lisa Marie ha confidato a Jenna di aver desiderato che suo padre fosse ancora con lei.

Gli amici della star erano molto preoccupati per la sua salute e il suo benessere, dopo che, l’anno scorso era entrata in una spirale autodistruttiva con le droghe.

Temevano persino che l’avrebbe fatta finita morendo di overdose, proprio come Elvis che morì a 42 anni, il 16 agosto 1977, per un attacco di cuore provocato dalla sua dipendenza dalle droghe

Cantando con il cuore in mano: Per il nuovo album, la star ha cantato un duetto con suo padre di una delle sue più grandi hit di Gospel Where No One Stands Alone

Nel frattempo Lisa Marie era allo spettacolo per la promozione del suo nuovo album Elvis Presley: Where No One Stands Alone.

Parlando dalla sua casa d’infanzia Graceland a Memphis, TN, ha dichiarato che crede che suo padre sarebbe incredibilmente fiero del disco e del loro duetto sulla hit gospel Where No One Stands Alone.

“Mentre cantavo quel brano ero sopraffatta dall’emozione” ha dichiarato, aggiungendo di essere scoppiata in lacrime al momento il duetto

Lisa Marie è l’unica erede della fortuna di suo padre corrispondente a 100 milioni di dollari. Attualmente, però, ha querelato il suo commercialista Barry Siegel, per aver presumibilmente esaurito il suo fondo fiduciario a causa di sconsiderati e negligenti investimenti.

In risposta alla domanda su cosa direbbe oggi ad Elvis, risponde in tono quasi scherzoso “Aiutami”

L’album è stato pubblicato venerdì – a sei giorni dall’anniversario della morte di Elvis




The 50-year-old spoke to the Today Show in an interview at her childhood home Graceland that aired Friday, Her new album Elvis Presley: Where No One Stands Alone was released the same day.




Lisa Marie Presley reveals she's 'proud' to have overcome drug addiction as she talks up new Elvis album



By Bobbie Whiteman For Dailymail.com

She's had a tough few years, and Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Marie isn't done with all her problems yet.

But the 50-year-old revealed that she is 'proud' of her recovery from drug addiction in an interview with The Today Show's Jenna Bush Hager aired on Friday.

I’m not perfect, my father wasn’t perfect, no one’s perfect. It’s what you do with it after you learn—and then you try to help others with it,' she said.
New music: Her interview, from her childhood home Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee, aired on Friday, the same days as the release of her album, Elvis Presley: Where No On Stands Alone

Making it through: The celebrity, 50, revealed that her therapist believes she’s a miracle, and doesn’t know how she’s still alive after her drugs battle

'I’ve come a long way, I was not happy,' Lisa Marie admitted, adding that her issues with drugs started when she was 45.

Slaying her demons: Lisa Marie Presley said she's 'proud' of her recovery from drug addiction in an interview with The Today Show's Jenna Bush Hager that aired on Friday

'But I am proud,' the mom-of-four said of her recovery.


Lisa Marie added that even her therapist believes she’s a miracle, and doesn’t know how she’s still alive.

'I’m not perfect, my father wasn’t perfect, no one’s perfect. It’s what you do with it after you learn—and then you try to help others with it,' she said.

New music: Her interview, from her childhood home Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee, aired on Friday, the same days as the release of her album, Elvis Presley: Where No On Stands Alone

With her beloved dad: Lisa Marie told Jenna she wished her father, Elvis, was still with her

The star’s friends were very concerned about her wellbeing last year after she went on a drug-fueled downward spiral.
They even thought she’d end up dying of an overdose, just like Elvis who died of a drug-induced heart attack aged 42 on August 16, 1977.

Singing her heart out: The star sang a duet with her late father on his hit gospel song Where No One Stands Alone for the new album
Meanwhile, Lisa Marie was on the show to promote her new album, Elvis Presley: Where No One Stands Alone.

Speaking at her childhood home Graceland in Memphis Tennessee, she said she believes her father would be 'incredibly proud' of the record and of their duet on his hit gospel song, Where No One Stands Alone.
'I was overwhelmed when I was singing it,' she said, adding that she broke down in tears while doing the duet.

Lisa Marie was the sole heir to her father's $100 million fortune. But the broke celebrity is currently suing her ex-money manager, Barry Siegel, for allegedly running her trust fund into the ground due to 'reckless and negligent' investments.
In answer to a question about what she would say to Elvis today, she replied, only half jokingly, 'Help me!'
The album was released on Friday — just six days before the anniversary of Elvis' death.
