I heard he was the first big star to flee to the middle east to end his days, like Michael Jackson did, and the whole death thing was just to be sure that he had royalties coming in.

To celebrate his reported death should we stick a needle in our ass and put our head in a toilet ;D.

The thing I could never understand is why he has one of the biggest fan bases in the UK, and yet he never performed there. Can't say I was ever a fan myself; more of a Beatles kinda guy.

A quote from the movie Men in Black

I was never a fan, but a fellow I grew up with, well his wife was. She was forcing him to
take her to the Elvis Concert Scheduled next  in Fayetteville NC. Then as he told her,
ha! he up and died on you :)
