King and Queen

Each year on August 16 we like to celebrate not only the Queen of Pop but also the King of Rock and roll. Elvis Presley died 28 years ago on Saturday August 16th, while Madonna Louise Ciccone was born 47 years ago on the same day.
He still is the undisputed King of rock ‘n’ roll, and she is the long-reigning Queen of pop music.

Here is a sketch of a classic early Madonna and a late King of Rock and Roll by artist John Shakespeare, published in the book Madonna in Art compiled last year by Mem Mehmet.
