Elvis Alive?


So why all the reported Elvis sightings over the years? Why the reports of him being seen burger bars or shopping mall or gas stations?

One possible explanation is that there are a lot of Elvis Presleys around. The King lives on through 85,000 official

Elvis Presley died in 1977. His music lives on.
