From this event, a single titled 'Welcome Home Elvis' was released, credited to both musicians. Fast forward to the present day, this nostalgic track has made a resurgence on the UK charts, landing at No. 94 on the Official Physical Singles chart.
'Welcome Home Elvis' has had a rollercoaster journey on the charts in 2024, debuting at No. 26 in April. Despite fluctuating positions, the song has managed to maintain a presence on the chart, with its latest appearance being earlier this month.
