Fans gathered for a cake-cutting on Elvis Presley's 74th birthday and got word of two new residents at Graceland.

Presley's ex-wife, Priscilla Presley, led several hundred fans in singing "Happy Birthday" on Graceland's front lawn Thursday and announced that two rescue horses — named Max and Bandit — have taken up residence on the grounds of the famous white-columned house.

Elvis, who died at Graceland in 1977 at age 42, maintained stables and riding pastures for horses at his longtime Memphis, Tenn., residence.
