MEMPHIS (AP) - The King of Rock, Elvis Presley, would have turned 74 Thursday, and Graceland is ready to celebrate. Priscilla Presley will host the traditional birthday ceremony on the steps of Graceland. The ceremony will be streamed live on Elvis.com at 10:30 a.m. Eastern. Presley will also introduce a new addition to the family: a 10-month-old colt named Bandit who will join the other three horses at Graceland. Bandit was rescued by the Fayette County Animal Rescue in Rossville, Tenn. Graceland is also opening an exhibit for the 70 anniversary of the building. The exhibit includes the original architectural drawings of Graceland, the deed, and Elvis' signed down payment check for $102,000.
