Elvis reward offered
NZPA-Reuter London
A British tabloid newspaper yesterday offered £1 million ($2.9 million) to anyone who brought the rock singer, Elvis Presley, into its offices alive.
The “Sun” said it would check to see if the contender really was the King of Rock — who was certified dead in 1977 — by checking his dental records and finger prints.
To claim the reward the man would also have to sing three of Elvis’s greatest hits — “Blue Suede Shoes,” “All Shook Up” and “Hound Dog.”
Elvis, who would now be 53, has refused to die, at least in the imagination of fans who have reported sightings across the United States at frequent intervals since his death.
