Edison Pena Graceland

Edison Pena Graceland - The Chilean miner who led Elvis singalongs for his colleagues while trapped underground for 69 days is going to Graceland.

Edison Pena will be a special guest during Elvis Presley's annual birthday celebration in Memphis, Tennessee, on Friday. Presley would have been 76 on Saturday.

The story of the miners, known simply as "the 33" in Chile, transfixed much of the world during their 69-day ordeal about half a mile below ground.

They have been popular on the American talk-show circuit since their October rescue, and have been honored by Chilean President Sebastian Pinera and on the "CNN Heroes" show.

The miners and their families toured Los Angeles in November.

The entourage visited Hollywood landmarks such as the Walk of Fame on Hollywood Boulevard, including one belonging to Presley.
