His childhood wasn’t so dreamy as he spent a greater part of his childhood in the hospital.

Steele suffered porphyria, a neuropathic illness affecting the stomach.“The war had been over three or four years, and I was trapped in a hospital bed,” he recalled. “It was only when these red spots exploded on my ankles the docs realized I had the King’s Disease.

 I learned of the madness I panicked – and so did my mum.”

Tommy Steel’s life took a major turn after his first performance in England as his talent became the talk of many.

“All of a sudden, I’m the first rock ‘n’ roll singer because no one my age played guitar or could sing country in England,” Tommy told the Daily Record in 2008.

Talking about Tommy Steele and Elvis meeting each other, finally Tommy Steele opened up about their secret together.

 with the Daily Mail, Steele, meanwhile, was very discrete about the alleged meeting with Elvis.

“What happened many years ago is something secret and memorable,” he said. “It was an event shared by two young men sharing the same love of their music and the same thrill of achieving something unimaginable.

“I swore never to divulge publicly what took place and I regret that it has found some way of ‘getting into the light’

“I can only hope he (Presley) can forgive me.”
