Since Elvis Presley<\/a> tragically died in 1977, hardcore fans have been convinced the king of rock<\/a> and roll staged his death<\/a> to live outside the spotlight.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some believed he was hiding from the mafia, appeared as an extra in the 1990 blockbuster Home Alone<\/em>, toured California\u2019s Legoland, tended to the grounds of Graceland and now living under the guise of a humble preacher in Arkansas.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the doppelganger\u2019s repeated denials, fans insist that Bob Joyce is \u201cgetting ready to explain\u201d his faked death \u201cvery soon.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading to learn what the preacher has to say about claims that he\u2019s Elvis!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 16, 1977, the world was \u2018All Shook Up\u201d when it was announced that 42-year-old Elvis Aaron Presley died of cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since his death almost 50 years ago, a group of skeptics refused to accept the king of rock and roll was dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To this day, Elvis-obsessed fans refuse to let go and choose to believe the gyrating gent faked his own death to go into hiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now they are convinced they spotted the \u201cJailhouse Rock\u201d singer living as Bob Joyce, a 72-year-old preacher in Benton, Arkansas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018None other than Elvis\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Joyce looks like an older, silver-haired version of Elvis, speaks like Elvis and sings with the same soothing baritone that Elvis was adored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when a YouTube video of Joyce singing the gospel song \u201cHow Great Thou Art,\u201d a song recorded by Elvis in 1967, conspiracy theorists went wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is truly Elvis. No one else could sing this favorite hymn of mine like Elvis,\u201d writes one fan in the comments section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A second offers, \u201cHis voice will never change. We love you and hope you tell us one day the story of your life. I know who he is and so does everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot even the imitation Elvis sings like Bob Joyce. Sir, I believe you are him. That rhythm and tone of voice is none other than Elvis,\u201d shares a third believer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another writes, \u201cI love you elvis bob Joyce I know but it ok no more big lights you have your piece of mind now you still have my heart (SIC).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018I\u2019m not Elvis\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Destroying these theories, the gospel singer and preacher at The Household of Faith Church insists he is not the king of rock and roll and instead a messenger of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, I\u2019m not Elvis. Lots of people ask me that\u2026I got started and I was trying to tell everybody, \u2018No, I\u2019m not Elvis,\u201d says the man<\/a> who points out he\u2019s almost 20 years younger than the \u201cDon\u2019t be Cruel\u201d singer, who would be 89 in 2024. \u201cMost of these folks know I am not Elvis but to them it doesn\u2019t matter. They are only so grateful that God is blessing them and reviewing their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPerhaps God is using Elvis\u2019 voice to minister to broken hearts and broken lives\u2026If Elvis were alive, I would say to him, my friend and brother, we are of kindred spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
