Interesting fact about Elvis Presley. Elvis Presley only performed live in two countries: the US and Canada. In North America. Canada is the only country outside the US that Elvis played in gigs & concerts.
The King of Rock and Roll had never performed his music live in other countries (which includes the UK, Europe, Australia and Japan. Even Elvis wanted to perform there but never had the chance) despite his songs were famous outside America.
The reason why Elvis never performed outside America except played live in Canada was the fact that Elvis’s music manager Colonial Tom Parker was illegal migrant originally from the Netherlands & never held the US passport. So that’s how Elvis only performed in US & Canada.
Probably reason why Colonel Tom Parker never held the American passport & the fear of him being arrested outside US (apprehension) due to his uncertain legal status was about murder incident in Breda, Netherlands which he may had connections. No one really knows for sure. That can explain why Elvis Presley joined the US army to be stationed in Germany (West Germany) for 2 years from 1958 to 1960.
It is true Elvis had never knew about the circumstances of his music manger’s situation & that he (Colonel Tom Parker) never had the American passport other than being an illegal from the Netherlands. Tom Parker was dodgy.
If Elvis Presley did had the opportunity to go on tour to perform live in countries outside the US, there would had been archival footages of him performing in many places including The UK, Europe, Japan, Australia, etc.
