A black man is banned from performing as a white man who made his living stealing music from black men.

AN ELVIS impersonator on Friday told how he was turned down for a slot on Stars In Their Eyes — because he is black.


Colbert Hamilton, 31, said TV bosses insisted only a white man could do justice taking off The King of rock ’n’ roll.

He has been impersonating Elvis in pubs and clubs for three years after a pal asked him to do it as a joke.
