Elvis Presley’s Image To Be Placed On Postal Stamp
Postal officials say an image of rock ‘n’ roll icon Elvis Presley is being placed on a “forever” stamp as part of the U.S. Postal Service’s music icon series.
In a statement, Postmaster General Megan Brennan said Wednesday that the stamp will be issued in August. A dedication ceremony is scheduled for Aug. 12 at Graceland, Presley’s longtime Memphis home.
The statement says the stamp image will be previewed at a later date. Other musicians who have been inducted into the Postal Service’s music icon series include Lydia Mendoza, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin.
