Elvis's death, in 1977, left me as a lifelong Presley fan, shattered at a psychic level. I decided to write a book, called In Search of Elvis, which has never been finished. Bono read an early draft and in February 1994, decided to add his name to those of the likes of Sam Phillips, June Juanico, and Leonard Cohen who had spoken to me about Presley.
