The King performed at the Neal Blaisdell Center for a TV special called Aloha From Hawaii. It was one of the first major concerts to be broadcast globally via satellite. More than a billion people watched the landmark event, one of three shows Elvis performed in Hawaii throughout his career. At a ceremony to mark the statue's unveiling, Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann said Elvis was "not a native son of our land, but we adopted him as our own". The bronze statue was a gift from TV Land.
