Elvis Is Alive!

Although Elvis Presley died in 1977, the tabloid Weekly World News spent many years trying to convince people that he was still alive. They published a series of covers that featured “exclusive” photos and interviews with the King, as well as the shocking expose that “Elvis’ Tomb Is Empty!” Apparently Elvis sightings have diminished in recent years, but the Weekly World News left us with a treasure trove of classic Elvis Presley covers that are the perfect way to celebrate his 79th birthday, on January 8. Here are 10 of our favorites.
