Elvis Presley: ‘Lookalike’ Bob Joyce sings ‘Hold My Hand’ in 2016

Elvis Presley tragically died in 1977, following a heart attack at home at Graceland. The King was just 42-years-old and his funeral took place two days later. But ever since his death there have been conspiracy theories that Elvis is alive.

Not only does the preacher from Arkansas have a striking resemblance to Elvis, but he sounds just like him in his gospel recordings.

So the theory goes that The King faked his own death to live a quiet life as a humble preacher and gospel singer in the South.

After all, Elvis was outspoken in his Christian faith and loved to sing gospel.

But now Elvis expert Billy Stallings Spy Guy has tracked down Pastor Bob in his latest video.

Billy drove to Arkansas, first stopping off at the preacher’s church, which was closed.

And the next day he knocked on Pastor Bob’s front door to set the record straight on if he was really Elvis or not.

The King’s lookalike answered the door, having been awoken from his nap.

The Elvis expert explained who he was and that he wanted to debunk the conspiracy theory.

Sadly, we don’t see Pastor Bob’s face in the video, but the fact that Spa Guy went to his church first and regularly interviews people who knew Elvis or are connected to him in some way makes it seem likely that this really is him.

Asking the singing preacher if he’s Elvis, he replied: “No I’m not Elvis. Lots of people ask me that.”

He also confirmed that he was only 68-years-old when The King would have been 85 this year.

Although, Pastor Bob is around 6ft which is reportedly how tall Elvis was.

Asked about his life, the preacher said how The Lord gave him dreams about preaching in different countries.

He admitted: “I got started and I was trying to tell everybody, ‘No, I’m not Elvis.”

Pastor Bob added: “Jesus is my message, my song, my life. That’s what it’s all about.”

Elvis Presley died on August 16, 1977 on the toilet upstairs at Graceland.

Fans flocked to view his casket through a window at the Memphis mansion the next day.

The King is now buried in the Meditation Garden at Graceland next to his parents.

Fans can go right up to his grave there when they visit the house, as the final part of the tour.
