πŸŽΆπŸŽΌπŸŽΈπŸŽ™ Since Elvis Presley's death on August 16, 1977, I've been a loyal but sometimes critical Elvis Presley fan! When Elvis Presley died in 1977 at the age of only 42, I was only 12 years old and had known little about Elvis Presley before! I currently own over 500 Elvis Presley CDs / records and a total of over 600 different Elvis Presley items (e.g. films, shows, characters, etc.)! I will continue to be an Elvis Presley fan, but occasionally I also listen to music from other singers and music groups! πŸŽ΅πŸŽΌπŸŽΈπŸŽ™

🎢🎸🎡 Seit Elvis Presleys Tod am 16. August 1977 bin ich ein treuer, aber manchmal auch kritischer Elvis Presley-Fan! Als Elvis Presley 1977 im Alter von nur 42 Jahren starb, war ich erst 12 Jahre alt und hatte vorher wenig über Elvis Presley gewusst! Ich besitze derzeit über 500 Elvis Presley-CDs / Schallplatten und insgesamt über 600 verschiedene Elvis Presley-Artikel (z. B. Filme, Shows, Charaktere usw.)! Ich werde weiterhin ein Elvis Presley-Fan sein, aber gelegentlich hâre ich auch Musik von anderen SÀngern und Musikgruppen! 🎸🎢🎡
