> [@Odesio](#): > > Sure. For how much longer will that be the case though? Elvis has been dead for around 47 years and I doubt he’s gaining new fans at the rate his old fans are dying. Yeah, but those Boomers’ traveling companions are nine years old. They’ll still be around for a while. ---

We just finished Elvis Death Week here in Memphis. From the photos I’ve seen from the candlelight vigil held Thursday, the crowd (around 10,000) looked pretty diverse. A Graceland spokesman said there were fewer people here than in past years but that he thinks a lot of people are waiting to come to the 2027 50th anniversary events. And trust me, they will come, young and old, from all over the world. Elvis fans are fanatics. ---
