On 29th September 2012, the UK tabloid press reported that there really was a girl who works down the chip shop and swore she was Elvis’ daughter. This was after Lisa Marie Presley was spotted serving up deep-fried treats on a mobile motor called Mr Chippy. The then 44-year-old donned an apron and cooked battered cod for the locals. Kim Scales, who owned the business, said: “Lisa Marie likes to see how we live and experience British life. We were laughing because the customers didn’t know who she was. She really enjoyed it.” The singer had moved to the quaint village of Rotherfield, East Sussex, in 2010, from Los Angeles. Sadly Lisa Marie is no longer with us after passing away last year.
Also on 29th September, this time in 1989, while travelling on his motorbike from Los Angeles, Bruce Springsteen called in at Matt’s Saloon in Prescott, Arizona, and jammed with the house band. Bruce played a bunch of rock and roll classics, including Elvis Presley’s “Don’t Be Cruel,” and Chuck Berry’s “Sweet Little Sixteen” and “Route 66.” Bruce also donated $100,000 to a barmaid’s hospital bill.
