Cooper Worthington, 12, flew to America to play at the ‘King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s home after he received an invitation.

Cooper, from Paignton, Devon said visitors were “shocked” to know that he came all the way from the UK to show his moves and voice.

Mum Kelly Worthington said he wowed crowds - with people saying he looked like young Elvis and others inviting him to return next year. Cooper had the opportunity to play at Graceland Theatre, Beale Street and the exhibition center in Graceland in the Tennessee city.

Songs such as Hound Dog, That's Alright Mama and Shake Rattle and Roll were part of his repertoire in his gigs in the States.

Cooper said: “It was such an honour to come all the way from England to perform at Elvis’ house.
