The Rolling Stones' lead singer had a simple explanation for why his path never crossed with the King of Rock 'n' Roll. The reason came down to a bit of cautionary advice from a Beatle and a classic case of conflicting rock history.
O'Brien chimed in that he remembered hearing about the visit. George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr walked into Presley's house, and he was watching TV and playing bass guitar. However, all four of the Beatles were high on drugs and told different versions of the events. It was Lennon's version that Jagger heard.
'Never Meet Your Heroes'Jagger went on to explain that Lennon told him the story of meeting Elvis Presley many times, emphasizing how "disappointed" he was.
"I didn't want my version of Elvis shattered like John's was," he added. "But maybe my Elvis would have been different."
The Reality of the 1965 Meeting"When they returned, they said that John wanted Elvis to know that without him there would be no Beatles," Priscilla said.
Jagger missed out on meeting his idol because he took a friend's disillusioned advice to "never meet your heroes." Instead, Jagger chose to protect his idealized version of the King of Rock 'n' Roll rather than risk disappointment. While only the people who were in the room will ever know for sure what happened that day, history suggests Lennon's negative account may have been exaggerated.
