Elvis Presley news regarding his death is making the rounds today just in time for his January 8th 84th birthday. New reports from The Mirror claim that evidence has been uncovered that “proves” Elvis faked his death on August 16, 1977.
According to the publication a secretly taped recording has been uncovered which claims the male voice on the tape claims he is, in fact, the real Elvis Presley. The alleged male’s voice is also reportedly identical to the voice of Presley, per his die-hard fans. This is just the evidence that those who believe that Elvis did NOT die in 1977 have been waiting for.
Since August 1977 through today, many have argued over the facts surrounding the King of Rock and Roll’s alleged death. The conspiracy theories surrounding the Presley family and this particular subject remain a hot-button topic today via many social media pages such as Evidence that Elvis Presley is still alive dedicated to debunking Presley’s death.
Most fans who still believe that Elvis faked his death feel that the “Jailhouse Rock” singer staged his demise to escape the pressures of fame. Others as previously reported feel that Elvis and his family’s lives had been threatened and it faking his death was the only way he could find to protect those he loved.
In the uncovered audio tape, the man claiming to be Presley can be heard speaking of his life on a remote island hideaway. It is also alleged that the tape was made four years after Elvis Presley’s funeral. The mystery man claims he has traveled all over the world in disguise, fearing eventual exposure. Which fans believe is why there were so many reports of Elvis sightings following 1977.
He says: “I realize that sooner or later it’s probably going to end. You know I hate to think it’s going to end, but I know sometimes the secret [of being alive] has got to be let out and if it hadn’t have been for getting involved in what I’m involved in now, things and such, maybe it’d be different.
“As far as appearing nationally, I think it would be silly to get back into something that’s taken me this long to get out of. People ask me all the time where I’m living, and naturally, I can’t say, but it’s a good place to hide.”
