Since Elvis Presley sadly died in 1977, some devoted fans believe he faked his death to live quietly away from the public eye.
These fans think Elvis might have been hiding from the mafia, appeared as an extra in the movie *Home Alone*, visited California’s Legoland, helped out at Graceland, or is now living as a humble preacher in Arkansas.
Even though the preacher, Bob Joyce, keeps denying he’s Elvis, fans believe he’s about to reveal the truth about his faked death soon.
Keep reading to find out what the preacher says about these claims!
On August 16, 1977, the world was shocked when it was announced that 42-year-old Elvis Presley died of a heart attack.
Even though it’s been almost 50 years since his death, some people still refuse to believe the King of Rock and Roll is really gone.
To this day, Elvis-obsessed fans refuse to let go and choose to believe the gyrating gent faked his own death to go into hiding.
And now they are convinced they spotted the “Jailhouse Rock” singer living as Bob Joyce, a 72-year-old preacher in Benton, Arkansas.
Joyce looks like an older, silver-haired version of Elvis, speaks like Elvis and sings with the same soothing baritone that Elvis was adored.
And when a YouTube video of Joyce singing the gospel song “How Great Thou Art,” a song recorded by Elvis in 1967, conspiracy theorists went wild.
One fan wrote, “This is definitely Elvis. No one else could sing this hymn like him.”
Another fan commented, “His voice will never change. We love you and hope you share your life story with us someday. We all know who you are.”
A third fan said, “No imitation Elvis sings like Bob Joyce. Sir, I believe you are Elvis. The rhythm and tone of your voice are unmistakable.”
Another fan wrote, “I love you, Elvis Bob Joyce. I know who you are, but it’s okay. No more spotlight, just peace of mind. You still have my heart.”
However, Bob Joyce, the gospel singer and preacher at The Household of Faith Church, says he is not Elvis Presley and is instead a messenger of God.
He explains, “No, I’m not Elvis. Many people ask me that. I’ve tried to tell everyone, ‘No, I’m not Elvis.’ I’m actually almost 20 years younger than Elvis, who would be 89 in 2024. Even though most people know I’m not Elvis, they are grateful that God is helping them through their struggles.
“Maybe God is using Elvis’ voice to heal broken hearts and lives. If Elvis were alive, I’d say to him, ‘We’re kindred spirits.’”
Still, many of Joyce’s fans are adamant in saying he hasn’t come out yet and will soon reveal his big secret to the world.
“All his [members of the congregation] knows it’s him as well as the many visitors to his church every Sunday from around the world know it’s him. He’s getting ready to explain it all (why he faked his death & changed his name) very soon,” writes Alabama’s Samantha Drummond Dunn, who plans on traveling to Arkansas to meet Joyce. Encouraging others to watch his YouTube videos, which she says serves as proof, she demands, “It is him!”
Poking fun at her statement, another netizen writes, “If it’s on the Internet it must be true.”
The Bob Joyce website warns people about fake social media accounts pretending to be him, including the one mentioned by Drummond Dunn. The website says, “People have impersonated Bob Joyce many times. He does not send private messages online. The only real Facebook account for Pastor Bob Joyce is: facebook.com/bob.joyce.75. Any other accounts claiming to be him on Facebook or elsewhere are not genuine.”
The statement also notes that Bob Joyce is not on Instagram or TikTok.

Mysterious plane found in the sea – Navy goes speechless when they look inside
Recently enlisted in the Navy, Jack oversaw a routine naval mission that took an unexpected turn when a submerged aircraft—first thought to be significant historically—unveiled a deadly and dark truth.
The team who discovered the airplane was intrigued by the enigmatic collection of objects they discovered, and the aircraft garnered a lot of attention.
Further investigation revealed that the plane’s last known location coincided with where it is currently resting beneath the waves. With this discovery, the group came up with a calculated plan to pull the airplane out of its watery tomb.
Years of training and experience allowed a team of divers to maneuver around the aircraft, but it was made obvious that entering the plane in its present location was not conceivable. This called for the implementation of a backup plan: the use of a huge crane that was already positioned on the ship’s deck and ready to take on the enormous task of raising the aircraft to the surface.
Jack and the rest of his team felt a tangible feeling of wonder when the aircraft finally rose above the ocean’s depths and into the light. However, they were surprised to find something unexpected when they looked inside the aircraft.
The inside displayed a startling assortment of objects rather than what they had anticipated, adding to the mystery surrounding the airplane. A small hint caught Jack’s attention, setting off a chain of events that would reveal an extraordinary criminal plot.
There was not a single piece of information that would have indicated the presence of passengers or personnel on the aircraft. Normally alive with the pilot’s actions, the cockpit was oddly quiet and deserted, raising many concerns about what might have happened before the jet crashed into the ocean.
There were hints of tinkering with the emergency exit door, which fueled rumors about what would happen to possible occupants. The mystery was further compounded by the absence of possible passengers’ personal goods, leaving Jack and his colleagues with more questions than answers.
