Also puzzling was a man who, on the day of Elvis’s supposed death, bought a plane ticket from Memphis to Argentina using the name Jon Burrows, the pseudonym the singer always used when checking into hotels. Then, on December 31, 1977, a man visiting Graceland happened to photograph a shadowy figure that looked just like Elvis sitting in the poolhouse doorway. Thousands more “sightings” have followed in the years since, including a strange spate in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in the late 1980s where “Elvis” was seen buying electrical equipment in a store wearing a white jumpsuit and ordering a Whopper at the local Burger King. The star was even rumoured to have been spotted in the background of an airport scene in the 1990 film Home Alone.

And, as recently as 2016, a video emerged of a bearded man wearing a baseball cap at Graceland which many fans believed was the elderly singer.

If Elvis was alive he’d be 82, but for many the truth doesn’t matter – his spirit is still very much with us.

More than 20million people have visited Graceland since it opened to the public for tours in 1982.

And ex-wife Priscilla, now 72, says: “It’s still difficult to believe that Elvis is gone.

“In everything we do, we try to make sure his DNA is there. It keeps him alive. He still exists, he is still here.”
