Icons do not die; they merely fade away. Unless, of course, they have fans who worship them. The Elvis community knows: The King lives! Nils Strassburg is their priest. This is the book of a passion. Nils Strassburg shares it with millions of others: Elvis Presley. Warner has crowned him the best Elvis in Germany. He is an interpreter, he is a fan, and he is Nils Strassburg. About in that order. In his autobiographical novel, he tells of rock 'n' roll, his search for the perfect imitation, and how one must first lose oneself before finding oneself. A musician's life, after all. "Storm and stress arise from oppression. Rock 'n' roll from slavery. Those who do not understand this may become entertainers, but never a rock 'n' roller. What are you against, if I may ask? Where is your oppression? What limits you? What are you rebelling against, Nils?"

Nils Strassburg, born in 1975 in Burlington, Vermont, now lives with his wife and two children near Stuttgart. Since winning a contest organized by WarnerMedia and the German Elvis Presley Society, he has been allowed to carry the title "Germany's best Elvis interpreter." With his ten-member band, The Roll Agents, he has been touring Germany, Austria, and Switzerland since 2013. For Elvis's 90th birthday, he is on tour with the grand show "The Musical Story of Elvis.".
