Elvis Lives !
from Dotmusic, January 2, 2001

Spurred on by Sharleen's mum's love of The King, Texas have recreated Elvis' legendary 1968 Comeback Special in the video for their new single 'Inner Smile'. Watch the video clip to see Texas' Sharleen Spiteri as you're never seen her before!

"I still have all these stories turning up everywhere about my reinvented image, so I decided it was time to really give them something to talk about. Let's just say my gay fans won't be disappointed by my new look...and neither will my Mum!"

No expense was spared on the video that was shot in front of a specially invited audience and featured £50,000 of prosthetics and a specially made Gucci Elvis suit.

Tom Ford - creative head of both Gucci and YSL - designed the black leather suit.
"This video project was amazing from start to finish," commented Ford. "It shows that Sharleen can act just as well as she can sing."

The video director Vaughan Arnell - the man behind Robbie William's shocking 'Rock DJ' video - simply said: "Sharleen's got big balls, in fact, she's got f***in massive balls."
