Comeback

Simon Goddard has been writing about music for nearly 30 years, both as a journalist and as the author of over a dozen books published across three continents. His Bowie Odyssey series has twice made the Sunday Times Books Of The Year (2020, 2024) while his other titles have made best-of-year lists in Mojo, Q, Uncut and Pitchfork's Top 60 Music Books Of All-Time. Simon is based in North London.

'A fascinating exploration ... Goddard certainly has form as a music biographer, but this audacious and pacey study of The King goes further. Timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the event in question, it broaches exciting new ground.' The National'This fine book more than justifies its existence... Goddard not only knows his Elvis but deftly weaves in the cultural background of the era.' MOJO'Swerves rock-biog worthiness in favour of exhilarating novelistic daring - a hot and heavy dream of a book' Q Magazine
