Elvis Presley's 84th birthday will be celebrated with a special Elvis All-Star Tribute on NBC.

Adam Lambert will perform the classic, Blue Suede Shoes, and he will wear a pair to complete the look. The vocal powerhouse said: 

“What was I supposed to wear? Red ones? Elvis defined pop culture in the ’50s with his voice, style and swagger. He was one of the first icons I ever listened to, so to take the stage during this anniversary tribute feels like a big honor.

We're also expecting him to be all quiffed up like he was for his part of Eddie in Rocky Horror Picture Show (see below).
