On his 16th birthday, he got a box set of Reader's Digest cassettes that contained some Elvis songs which he loved.
Other countries and places include New Zealand, Sweden, Canada, London, and Norfolk Island.
After that he performed with the Sweet Inspirations, the female group that provided backing vocals for Presley during the 1970s.
[13][14] On 16 August 2007, which was the 30th anniversary of Presley's death, Vegas was interviewed by Paula Kruger for The World Today program on ABC Radio.
Later that week he was set to perform at the Leagues Club there backed by islander Trent Christian and his band.
The speculation by the reporter Jemima was correct about the visit to the island not being his last,[17] Vegas was back there in 2015 as part of the Legends of Rock, which featured Vegas as Elvis, Dennis Knight as Johnny O'Keefe and Chris Knight as Buddy Holly.
[21] Clive Palmer hired Vegas in June 2014 to entertain guests at Coolum Resort in Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
[23] In September 2014, at the Victor Harbor Rock 'n' Roll Festival, Vegas was the feature performer for that year.
[28] In 2014, Vegas appeared on the Seven Network program, Sunrise, hosted by David Koch and Samantha Armytage.
Having entered and won a competition by Queensland's Breeze FM, Dianne Crooks and her husband Bill were part of a ceremony with other couples to be married by Vegas.
The event was covered by Channel 7 as well as a follow up on the 14th of July, which featured Dianne and Vegas.
