1958 soll es ein Geheimtreffen mit Tommy Steele in London gegeben haben? Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass das stattgefunden hat. Und vor allem hätte es sich im Laufe der Jahre rumgesprochen und noch etwas: Ohne Red West und Lamar Fike wäre er wohl kaum nach London gefahren und die beiden hätten das schon längst ausgeplaudert, oder? -

Marty Lacker comments on claim Elvis toured London with Tommy Steele
Tommy Steele's claim that Elvis contacted him and spent a day in London with him is total bullshit.
It seems Steele is just another person who has come out of the woodwork since Elvis died that has made false claims about themselves and Elvis. They think because he's gone they can get away with it but they forget the that we, the original guys who were close to him for 20 years and more, are still here. At least one of us and most times more, were with him just about everyday for all that time. Many days 24/7. We know what he did and who he did it with. Tommy Steele was never with Elvis in London because Elvis was never in London. The only time Elvis was in any part of Great Britain is when his army plane made a brief landing to refuel in Prestwick, Scotland on his way home from the army in Germany.
Who Steele did meet is Lamar Fike, who says that he went to London back then while he was in Germany with Elvis. He went with a couple of guys and met Steele as part of a group. He spent a few hours with him and the others but he never went to Parliment as Steele claims or any other sightseeing tour with him.
Hope that sets the record straight for people.

Da muss der Tommy Steele doch glatt den Lamar Fike mit Elvis verwechselt.Tztztz.
Gut, dass uns der Marty wieder mal aufgeklärt hat, the original guy who was close to him for 20 years and many days 24/7.

More feedback on Elvis visiting London
ELVISINFONET asked the person with Elvis during his time in Germany, Lamar Fike, for a comment on the claim Elvis secretly visited London. Succinctly, Lamar replied: "This did not happen."
We also appreciated Peter Turner's comments on the claim:
The only time Elvis was given permission to leave Germany during his service was when he was allowed to make a trip to Paris. He hired a limo to take him and the guys in his entourage, there and back. With him were:- Red West, Lamar Fike and great army buddy, Rex Mansfield. Check out Rex`s excellent book `Sergeant Presley` co-written with his wife Elisabeth, who also worked as Elvis`s live-in secretary in the house in Bad Nauheim during those years. (No mention in the book of a `London trip`.)
On the Paris trip they did get to meet some Brits....a troupe of English dancing girls from a Paris nightclub they went to, who spent an evening with the guys in El`s hotel suite playing scrabble and discussing Parisian architecure. Then of course, there was his stopover in Prestwick on the way back to the USA and demobilisation.
But that was the total sum of Elvis`s `extra-Germanic` activities to foreign countries. Period!
Also, no way would he have gone to London on his own! At the very least Red & Lamar would have gone too. They were at his side for all `off-base` actvities, plus Rex also. They even had two fist-fights in Paris with guys pissed off at their `gals` being more in love with The King than them.
And yet no-one recogised the most famous face on the planet...flying to and from London...on his own........ in 1958?
Yes..of course!
Finally why would this still be such a state- secret...in 2008? (The CIA might assasinate Tommy?) If it happened, why not confirm it, instead of mysterious talk of pledges of silence. You can tell from Steele`s response that he doesn`t want to call his mate a liar in print, or actually confirm it, otherwise he`d be going along with the fantasy, so he`s masked it all in press double-speak, which actually, speaks volumes! Kenwright should go into business with Jeffrey Archer.
PS: Tommy has also mentioned in the past, that he saw Buddy Holly & The Crickets playing live in Norfolk Viginia, when he was out there as a Merchant seaman. He recalls they sang `Not Fade Away`.A few things to ponder in relation to this:- Steele was out of the MN and doing his first stint at the 2-I`s by July 1956. At that time there were no `Crickets`, Holly was still trying to get something away in Nashville..and `Not Fade Away` was a year off.
