Might Elvis have faked his death……

[Yvonne Smith]

Even after all this time, this question still lingers.
Elvis was only 42 when he died. Most of the entertainers who died this young either overdosed on drugs, or were killed in a plane crash, or some other accident. Other celebrities, who have lived a life even more addicted to drugs, still lived a long time, like Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson.
There has always been a story that Elvis was secretly working underground for the CIA in some capacity, since he traveled a lot for his singing tours, and could go almost anywhere. (Not just Elvis, other celebrities have had this said about them also).

So, whether he had to go into witness protection, or just wanted to stop living the life in the spotlight and be an ordinary person, it seems possible that Elvis could have faked his own death. The rumors started almost immediately after he died in 1977, and still persist yet today, with various people who were connected to Elvis saying it is possible.

One of the main people who they believe could be Elvis , is Pastor Bob Joyce , a preacher who lives in Arkansas, and has a singing voice and style that is definitely deeply similar to Elvis.
This video is a mix of both of them when singing the same song. Some parts play the mix together, and you can hear both voices, and some parts alternate between the two, with the picture showing which one is singing.
If you listen without watching the faces change, it is pretty hard to tell which voice you are hearing.

As a musician who has worked with a lot of people, I know that there are countless people who can sing exactly like other people, many of whom were famous singers who presumably died. My band had two singers that come to mind, a girl who was our lead singer in the 1980s who seemed like she was channeling Janis Joplin's soul when she sang, and a keyboard player and singer who could sound exactly like Steve Perry of Journey, and Dennis DeYoung of Styx, both of which have current singers who nail it everywhere the bands play.

As far as whether those famous musicians are really dead, it's anyone's guess. Graves can be fake, someone can have body and facial surgery to look different, and it is entirely plausible that the recording industry could have either killed them, or supported a fake death scheme because either way, their music becomes more valuable after death.

There are impersonators everywhere. There used to be an Elvis impersonator convention in Las Vegas every year. Perhaps there still is, I don't know... Once when driving from Page, Arizona to Flagstaff, I passed a little dive bar out in the middle of nowhere that had a sign out front that I laughed so hard when I read it that I almost wrecked my van.

Might he? I guess I can't disprove it .

Did he? I don't see any particular reason to think he did!

Yvonne Elvis is old enough to be his daddy, he was also a bad drug addict and looked terrible the last days of his life. A friend of mine went to his last concert and she said he looked bad.
I think he died in 1977 but then again nothing is for sure.

Back in the 1980s a friend of mine was writing a book which he had referred to as "The Great Rock and Roll Conspiracy", which was essentially about all of the rock stars that (as he put it) either died under suspicious circumstances, or their were questionable at best. He had no proof of anything, of course. But I read what he had up to about six months before he lost interest in writing it for whatever reason, and his theories were at least plausible.

One of his key points referred to the so-called "27 Club", the list of famous musicians who died at age 27. Some of his ideas were pretty far fetched, but some could have been legit. One of his main (and most amusing) theories was that many of those people, including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison, were cursed by their use of white disposable cigarette lighters.

Years later, Snopes put that one to rest by doing a little research into the famous white lighters, and reported that Bic didn't even start making them until 1973, and the biggest stars of the 27 Club died before that time.

However, he was convinced that (drum roll, please) the members of the 27 Club were murdered by the government. He also included other people, like Elvis in his theories. He looked at it as rock and roll's McCarthyism. Which is probably why he lost interest in writing the book due to a noticeable lack of evidence to support his theories.

Personally, I think he smoked a little bit too much weed...

Dave McGowan wrote about the Hippie movement, and he also has some interesting thoughts about both the musicians and the actors of that time period.
You can read about his Laurel Canyon Mysteries on his website. He also has other interesting information abut the moon landing, 9/11, and the assassination of Lincoln.
He died suddenly of cancer, and it is possible that he was silenced, in my opinion.

My friend that was writing the book claimed that all of the 27 Club, plus a few other "dead celebs" (Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, Elvis, among others) were all living high off the proverbial hog in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, partying on Ipanema Beach. The owner of PC Pitstop lives in Rio and he says that is "Complete, utter nonsense"...
