Background

Presley was born January 8th, 1935, so his projected age would not preclude the possibility that Elvis is still alive (as of 2007, he would be 72 years old). 2007 is a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar. ...


Critics of those who believe that Elvis is alive may state that a number of Elvis impersonators can easily be mistaken for Elvis and that Elvis' fans merely do not want to believe he is actually dead. Elvis Impersonators An Elvis impersonator is someone who impersonates or copies Elvis Presley either as a hobby, career in entertainment or occasionally for fun. ... Fans of Janet Jackson, at Much Music in Toronto The word fan refers to someone who has an intense, occasionally overwhelming liking of a person, group of persons, work of art, idea, or trend. ...


Most people who believe Elvis is still alive believe that Elvis is spending the remainder of his life in solitude somewhere in the United States. To back this up they have suggested that Elvis' middle name is spelled incorrectly on his tomb.[1] On the death certificate it is spelled 'Aron' - the same as his birth certificate, even though his estate prefers the use of 'Aaron'.

Media examples

There have been many purported sightings of Elvis over the years and this has been a great source of inspiration for the mass media to draw upon. It has mainly to do with the unique iconic status that Elvis holds in society and that people still show enthusiasm for media articles about his life and work. Popular press redirects here; note that the University of Wisconsin Press publishes under the imprint The Popular Press. Mass media is a term used to denote a section of the media specifically envisioned and designed to reach a very large audience such as the population of a nation state. ...

  • In 1994, Steve Brewer published a mystery novel called Lonely Street, regarding a mysterious celebrity by the name of Mr. Aaron who, as the plot thickens, is revealed to be the real Elvis Presley.

A film adapted from the novel is slated to release in late 2007, and will star Robert Patrick as the mysterious celebrity.
  • In the Eoin Colfer novel The Wish List, St. Peter and Beelzebub discuss the ramifications of a human returning to Earth after their death.

Trivia

  • The first post-mortem Elvis sighting likely occurred on August 16, 1977, when a man calling himself "John Burrows" (who bore a startling resemblance to Elvis) was seen buying tickets, with cash, to Buenos Aires. Adding credibility to the sighting was the fact that "John Burrows" is a known alias that Elvis often used when on tour.[4]
  • Argentinian musician Andres Calamaro wrote a song called "Elvis Está Vivo" (Elvis Is Alive) for his 1997 album, Alta Suciedad. Though the song is most probably nothing more than a joke, in it he claims Elvis is alive and watching his own funeral, on a crystal toilet, in a room with gold leopard wallpaper, and that Bob Dylan and everyone in Memphis knows, but they are "very discreet".
  • There is an official Elvis Sighting Society which is based at the Newport Restaurant in the Westboro section of Ottawa, Ontario. Restaurant Owner Moe Atallah is one of the founders of the group. The roadway behind the restaurant has been designated "Elvis Lives Lane".
  • Sightings of Elvis in the Yukon Territory are completely believable, since "Tagish" Elvis Presley, a local resident, has not only legally adopted the name, but dresses as Elvis and believes he is a reincarnation of Elvis.
  • A short, unmapped road off Kyle Canyon Drive on the outskirts of Las Vegas, Nevada, on the way to the Mt. Charleston resort area, bears the sign "Elvis Alive Drive". It is not apparent whether the road is public or private.
  • Punk band "Inner City Unit" released a song "Bones of Elvis" on their 1981 album "The Maximum Effect," suggesting that "ELVIS" stands for "Everlasting Life Via Induced Suspended-Animation" and that his death was a boon to the Elvis industry (lyric "noone has to pay a corpse").
  • Scottish-based band Belle and Sebastian recorded a song entitled "Another Century of Elvis". The song speaks in prose of how Elvis has come to visit the speaker after shuffling around his door one night. He speaks of watching "The E-Files" with him, and surmises that Elvis has come to reside there because "[the speaker] read somewhere that he likes squirrels".
  • Mojo Nixon's "Elvis is Everywhere" claims he is in fact everywhere except in Michael J. Fox. He is also trying to get out of Joan Rivers.
