Edison Pena, one of the 33 rescued Chilean miners who gained worldwide attention for their 69-day ordeal trapped underground, has been admitted to a clinic to be treated for alcohol addiction. Pena, who became known after the rescue for his Elvis Presley imitations and appeared on US television with David Letterman, is "in good hands", his wife Angelica Alvarez told El Mercurio newspaper. Pena, 35, was the 12th miner to emerge in the now-famous rescue from the copper and gold mine in northern Chile after 69 days, in scenes watched by millions around the world on live television last year. He was hospitalised last year for a panic attack following the media frenzy around the miner rescue. He also went on a US tour that included a visit to Presley's Graceland mansion, a TV appearance and ran in the New York City marathon. Pena did not attend the anniversary commemoration of the mine collapse attended by President Sebastian Pinera. Source: AFT BIM: I along ...

The estate of Elvis Presley is using a litigation fund to help finance a court case against Sony in one of the highest profile cases yet to make use of this section of the investment industry. Litigation funds pay part or all of a claimant’s legal fees in exchange for a slice of the damages. They have been touted as an alternative investment strategy, offering a spread of risk unrelated to the performance of financial markets or economies; but in the UK, at least, they have been struggling to grow. Litigation funds: the strategy pays a claimant’s legal fees in exchange for part of the damages The sector got a boost at the end of last month, when London-based Calunius Capital announced it would be funding litigation on behalf of Elvis Presley Enterprises in Germany. The case is against RCA Records, now part of the Sony Group, which acquired the worldwide rights to Presley’s back catalogue in 1973. According to the legal complaint, the 1973 deal gave RCA a “conspicuously disproportio...

Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. and the Calunius Litigation Risk Fund announced today developments in a multi-million Euro lawsuit against Arista Music, formerly RCA Records, in Germany. The suit, which was filed in the name of its sister company Elvis Presley Enterprises, LLC in December 2010, is demanding proper payment for sound recordings in Germany featuring Elvis Presley including new media, like downloads, ringtones and entertainment apps that Presley himself could not have dreamed would someday exist. The suit is only applicable to sound recordings in Germany and is limited to amounts earned since March 2002 and future revenue until 2023 following an amendment to German copyright law that extended the term of copyright protection. The suit alleges that Presley was unjustly exploited during his lifetime by the record company and that his estate has continued to suffer from those injustices. The central issue, as it relates to this German suit, is the 1973 buyout agreement,...

Lara Neel | The Journal Gazette A reel of film of a 1957 Elvis concert at the Coliseum was found among items for a model train auction. ’57 Elvis at Coliseum film could rock fans A little more than 54 years ago Elvis Presley performed at Memorial Coliseum. You’d probably have to be in your mid-60s to even remember the concert, and if you actually attended the show you’re probably at least 70 today. That’s a long time ago, so let’s just say the King’s 1957 local concert hasn’t been a topic of daily conversation for some time. Until last week. It seems that Ellenberger Brothers Auctions, which is having a big auction of model trains Sept. 10, stumbled across an odd item that was tossed into the sale at the last minute, almost as an afterthought. The item had nothing to do with trains. It was nothing more than a tin can, actually one of those flat containers used to hold old film reels. On the cover was a little piece of tape with the words “Elvis 1957 Cole...
