me back into the foyer where I posed for photos with another bunch of Elvises.

This was my chance to outElvis the rest, but it was hard to focus with the jewelled costumes digging into myy back. I hope it was just their rhinestone­s...

Later I found myself looking up the nostrils of a 6ft 4in German Elvis. “I got sick of bad Elvis acts,” the former welder told me. “Now I’m on a mission to bring the true meaning of Elvis to a new generation of fans.” “Admirable ambition,” I nodded, wondering where looking down my top ranked on his mission statement. Johnny Elvis – apparently his real name – then came over to invite me to the after party. “That’s when the real show starts,” said the Welshman, waggling his eyebrows, which didn’t quite match his dyed black hair. The c o n t e s t ’s £2,000 cash sum for the winner was clearly not the only prize on offer. On stage, things were also hotting up with profession­al Elvis act and compere Jay Ashton whipping the golden oldie crowd into a frenzy. I just hoped security had put the defibrilla­tor on charge. Making my polite excuses to Johnny, I left the building.

Manson, 82, went back to California’s Corcoran state prison, where he is serving life, after a five-day hospital stay in nearby Bakersfiel­d.

It was reported that Manson is suffering from lower gastrointe­stinal bleeding caused by a lesion.

He was supposed to have surgery on Thursday but doctors decided he was too weak and it was too risky.

Cult leader Manson orchestrat­ed the 1969 killings of seven people, including heavily pregnant Hollywood star Sharon Tate.

He and four followers were sentenced to death but spared after a US Supreme Court decision in 1972.
