Man sentenced in theft of Elton's glasses
Wednesday, May 27 2015

The man who stole Elton’s glasses from the Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum in April 2015 was given a two-year, suspended sentence with probation.

In court on May 26, 2015, Matthew Colvin, 26, of Cordova, pleaded guilty to stealing the glasses. The glasses were recovered by the Memphis Police Department within a week of their disappearance from the museum. Colvin was charged with the crime on May 4, 2015 and could have received up to four years in prison.

The glasses are on loan to the museum from Hard Rock Cafe International. The glasses are heart-shaped blue prescription glasses from Anglo-American-Apparel glasses of England. Also stolen (and also recovered) was a red glasses sleeve from L.A. Eyeworks.
