Elvis Presley continues to remain one of the biggest music legends of all time. Despite news reports from more than four decades ago, there are many dedicated Elvis fans who will argue until blue in the face that Elvis Presley is still alive.
Elvis fans to this day question all the circumstances, and the ever-changing details surrounding Elvis Presley’s death. This subject and all Presley family news continue to remain a hot topic of interest for fans.
So why after so many years do fans refuse to believe that the King is gone? Many fans spend numerous hours a day pouring over every detail in existence pertaining to Elvis. Looking for clue after clue to support their theories about the alleged Elvis Presley death.
There are numerous Facebook groups with thousands of fans who share all the details of these so-called clues each and every day. One popular group, in particular, named Elvis Is Alive!, posts some pretty convincing evidence.
The group reveals many details surrounding Elvis’ death on August 16, 1977, that claim on this exact date several eyewitnesses have stated that there was a helicopter hovering over Graceland mansion just moments before an ambulance rushing Presley’s unresponsive body to the hospital.
The fans have also revealed that Elvis Presley gave many clues before the actual day of his “death” to fans. Elvis as a huge fan of numerology and some believe that the last jumpsuit that Elvis wore in concert just days before his alleged death reveals that he planned to fake his death.
The “Sun Dial Suit” had hinted in it indicating that Elvis was going to fake his death! It has 16 outer points marking the day, 8 inner points indicating the eighth month of the Year 7. Note that Elvis died in August (which is the 8th month) on the 16th (which is the day) and 1977 (which is the year that he died).
Why would the man who had everything fake his death? There are numerous rumors surrounding this theory. It has been claimed over the years that Elvis was forced into a witness protection program after working undercover with the FBI to bring down some hardcore mafia members.
According to conspiracy theories, with his life and the lives of his family in danger, Elvis Presley allegedly had no other choice but to fake his death. With so many clues, and both Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley accidentally speaking in interviews over the years about Elvis in the present tense, it is no wonder that some fail to accept the King of Rock and Roll’s “passing.”
The conspiracies and the inconsistent details surrounding the death of the legendary singer will continue to grow and would take decades to either prove or disprove the true story surrounding that heartbreaking day on August 16, 1977.
However, the fact of the matter is, if Elvis Presley did not actually die on August 16, 1977, he would be 85-years-old today. Considering his lifestyle choices with his diet, and prescription drug abuse it is highly unlikely that he would be alive today, not impossible, but unlikely.
For all the fans who choose to continue to believe the King is still alive, what is wrong with a little harmless fantasy? For the rest, should they be proven wrong and Elvis Presley is actually still alive at this late stage of life, what an incredible story and life to have experienced…And bravo to him and all who helped him pull it off!
