Est. $35,000-$45,000 Elvis Presley's Shot Out TV From Lisa Marie's Bedroom W/Signed Documentation (Previously on Tour W/Rascal Flatts) - This television was used at Graceland, and was in Lisa Marie's bedroom. The tv was acquired by Elvis' longtime nurse Tish Henley, who lived in a trailer behind Graceland along with her family. Elvis would often spend time in Lisa's bedroom while she was not there. According to Henley, one day while watching this TV, the picture kept skipping (as TVs often did at the time), and she saw Elvis reach across the TV tray next to the chair in which he was sitting, and pick up a hand gun and shoot the TV. The TV lost power, and Elvis told Tish to get her husband to take it out to what he referred to as the "TV Graveyard" (it is said that this is not the only TV that Elvis shot during his lifetime). Before trashing the TV, Tish's husband Tommy plugged it in and to his amazement it still worked. When Tish told Elvis that the television was still working he told her to use it for her daughter's room in their trailer. This piece will come with signed letters of authenticity from Tish Henley, as well as Stephen Shutts, whom obtained the TV from Tish. Shutts is a well known music historian and avid collector, TV personality and author. He has worked with Graceland, CMT, The Country Music Hall of Fame, and many others, including Rascal Flatts, for whom he created a Elvis themed wedding chapel for their Flatts Fest Tour. This TV toured in that chapel. VIEW MORE PICTURES
