Elvis’ guitarist James Burton provides verdict on Elvis film – ‘Appeared faux’

Over the final 70 years, James Burton has carried out with all of the greats and is the one guitarist to have performed with all 4 members of the Million Dollar Quartet and the Rat Pack.

The 83-year-old, who reveals little signal of stopping, is finest often known as Elvis Presley‘s TCB band chief.

The guitar participant carried out alongside The King on his excursions and most famously his Las Vegas residencies.

He’s one of many few individuals left alive immediately who personally knew the music icon, who died in 1977.

And throughout an unique interview with Express.co.uk, he gave his verdict on Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic.

Burton, who carried out a particular present with Sir Brian May in London earlier this summer season, stated of the biopic: “It was ok.

“Since I worked with Elvis there was some goods and some bads. Austin did a wonderful, great job.

“It kinda slid by a lot of stuff. Some of it looked fake to me, not really the real thing. It’s like when you take something real and fake it, it’s not the same.”
