'Elvis Is Alive' Memorabilia Set For Auction

After seveteen years...

An avid collector of Elvis Presley memorabilia who has relentlessly maintained that the King is still alive is to auction off his collection.

Bill Beeny, the founder of The Elvis Is Alive Museum, has believed for the past seventeen years that the singer is still alive.

The extensive collection includes a replica of the Cadillac that Presley drove, as well as replicas of the coffin and gravestone from his funeral in 1977, reports AP.

Beeny is putting the artefacts – which also include rare photographs and FBI files – onto eBay so that he can move onto other projects.

"I have a burden to help people," he said. “Someone else can run, will run, the museum. No-one in the whole county is doing the job I intend to do."

Beeny said that he hopes that by putting the collection on the internet someone else will maintain his vision that Elvis is still alive, although he admitted that “life has its changes. You have to let go."
