[Scarlets]

yes

The Gravesite.

For Starters, Elvis's name is spelled wrong on his headstone. Elvis's full name is Elvis Aron Presley, but on his grave his middle name is spelled incorrectly with two a's. His father would not have let this happen. When Elvis was born, his name was misspelled on his birth certificate, and his father went to great lengths to get the error corrected. The unique spelling of Elvis's name was important to the Presley family.
Elvis's current "resting place" is in between his father and his grandmother and not next to his mother where he had adamantly requested. It is doubtful that the people close to him would allow these things to happen. Elvis is a superstitious man - enough so that he wouldn't tempt fate by putting his real name on a tombstone, or violate the ground next to his mother until he was ready to be placed there for good.

Death Certificate.

Elvis was very vain, and he was embarrassed about his recent weight gain - an astonishing 50 pounds in the month before his so-called death. Even though he weighed about 250 pounds at the time of his "death," his death certificate lists him at a spry 170 pounds. The original death certificate disappeared, and the current death certificate is dated two months after his alleged death.

plus he works in my local library.

So who's body laid out front of Graceland for a week then?

Probably a lookalike, or a waxwork.

[smudge]

He died on my 30th birthday - 16 August 1977!

I remember it well - although I never went to the Chapel of Rest to identify him.

[Greenbhoy]

There is a guy works down our chipshop who thinks he is Elvis.

But yes, there are probaly thousands of guys called Elvis living and breathing today.

[Gee Bee]

Yes, he owns a little craft shop in the Lake District called Wooden Art.

Scarlets, I will give you the benefit and assume you are joking about him being alive.

But, I have heard the 'Aaron' spelling* / Death weight stuff before, and wonder just how exactly, do the Elvis-is-alive brigade reckon that a mis-spelt name somehow constitutes proof that someone is alive?

 

( * - Any similarity to the Executive Producer of Dynasty, The Colbys etc etc. is purely coincidental)

[littleoldme]

He's obviously still alive because he's never appeared barefoot on an album cover .

Or something.

[cockneyexile]

there,s a guy works down the chip shop swears he,s elvis so kirsty mc,coll says

Re. the gravesite - Elvis's name is spelt with two A's - this is the common spelling of the name, popular in the area, and it was an open secret that the birth certificate was lettered badly, making the two A's appear as one. So, Elvis' gravestone is correct, and his father oversaw it. This 'mis-spelling' is just one more piece of trivia that adds to the 'not dead' game - it's just what happens to famous people, their fame lives on.

[The Gambler]

Ah, don't spoil it for us andy!

[LiverpoolLou]

I saw him in Tesco today screaming at a cashier, so I said to him hey you.......DON'T BE CRUEL

[nicky7]

Elvis at the height of his career, was gettign bored with all the hangers on, they was turning Elvis into a cash machine, and not the Elvis we loved, this was before he went into "the talkies", he hatched a plan.

He met up with the greatest Elvis impersonator, they signed  adeal, Elvis would take his place and vica-versa, they had an agreement, that they would switch back if "real elvis" wanted too.

"fake" Elvis got starstruck by the life style, he soon took to drink and drugs, and got gdepressed by the life style and started to over eat.

"real" Elvis lost his agreement with "fake" Elvis, due to a fire in the trailer home he was staying at.

"real" Elvis got locked up in an old people's home.

All this is true, if you believe the story of...

BUBBA HO TEP!

Released in 3 days at all good, and bad retailers!

I agree with Nicky 7. Let the man rest in peace! He's only a joke to those of you who dont like him. To the rest of us, he will always be loved as the great man and entertainer he was!
