Answer 1

Ask hundreds of people what they will be doing on a certain day in August next year, or the year  after and there will be only one reply. Provided of course that the people you ask/are asking belong  to the Elvis Presley fan Club.

Although the King of Rock and Roll died nearly two decades ago, his fans have met every year since  then outside his home in Memphis, Tennessee, to show respect for the singer they love so much.

Fans like Jean Thomas, from South London. Jean has visited Gracelands, the house where Elvis  suffered his fatal heart attack, twice in the past five years.  “The first time I borrowed the money from my Mum, as I  wasn’t working then. But two years ago I got married  and since then I have been working in my husband  Chris’s garage. Chris and I went together last year, and  we are thinking of spending two or three months in the USA next year.   I have always wanted to visit some of the  places where Elvis performed. Like Las Vegas for  example.”

Jean says that Elvis has been her obsession ever since  she was ten years old, and she owns every single one of  his records, good and bad.
