Elvis Presley's twin-brother, Jesse, died at birth. David Bowie's half-brother, Terry, was tormented by extra-sensory visions all of his life that eventually led him to suicide. Scott Walker, the legendary 60s teen icon, rejected his major label stardom to become a reclusive avant-garde composer. This project, Elvis Low, is about burnt offerings and the critical importance of sacrifice.
Elvis set a standard of holiness that many other major performers revered and exalted. Popular culture assumes that Elvis perished due to an unhealthy lifestyle and his luxurious eating habits. But new research suggests that he suffered several traumatic brain injuries (ten years before his death) that triggered severe inflammation and autoimmune responses. Elvis was burning too brightly.
