Elvis isn’t dead; he’s in witness protection.

After years of reporting Elvis' whereabouts and doings for 15 years, the "Weekly World News" reported that Elvis Died from diabetes in the early '90s.

Was working at the Audiovox car radio factory Hauppage, NY. Our German Shepherd 9 year old died around the same time. Double bummer.

Did Elvis ever credit the kid who taught him those hip moves?

I remember being in the car after working all day, tuning all the stations that were playing Elvis songs, and thinking, “This can’t be good.”

Spruce, because I’m northern St. Paul, had to look up your about page. What’s with the stingrays on your very pretty Christmas tree?

never forget it.
walking down a main street in Dusseldorf Germany.
outside a store was a big easel with a newspaper propped on it :

“Elvis Tot” even in a foreign country there was only one elvis

Felt really sad. Still do. Look at youtube from vegas or any of the shows, man had something for the ages. Drugs and bad advice. like so many. ended it.

My recollection is similar to yours. I was 13 and my younger brother and I were riding in the bed of my dads Chevy pick up, with camper top on, mom and dad up front listening to the radio. We were driving through downtown Nashville at the time on a family trip to go to the Grand Ole Opry.

Wouldn’t be the first time an autopsy was fudged. I remember the initial reports that he was found slumped over on the toilet.

Don’t really care what happened. Not an Elvis fan and since he was a child molester.......

I was on active duty at Ray Barracks in Friedberg, Germany, where Elvis had been assigned to 1st Battalion, 32d Armor, 3d Brigade, 3d Armored Division during his Army service. I remember the main streets of Friedberg and Bad Nauheim being draped in black and nearly every shop with a black draped photo of him in its window.

"Elvis isn’t dead; he’s in witness protection."

Not true! He was abducted by space aliens and taken
to their planet. There he is being kept alive by their
advanced life extension techniques and will someday
return and give a free concert in Las Vegas.

He will have returned to normal weight and look like he's 20 years old.
The FBI knows this is true.
This was the true purpose of the Mueller investigation!

For many weeks we had high record sales, people coming in dressed like Elvis and so many stories from people. Some nice but a lots of b.s. about being in the Elvis mafia or that he was not dead and was seen just yesterday in Tunica Ms.
