Where were you and what were you doing when you heard about Elvis Presley's death? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

As most of us know, today marks the 25th anniversary when the King, Elvis Presley left the building and this world forever. Do you remember the place and time when you heard the news of Elvis' death?

It was 25 years ago today around 2 PM in a club called "Cheers" inside the Holiday Inn. I was with my brother's band helping them get set up for that night's gig. Suddenly, this guy walks in and we were surprised because the club was closed at that time. The guy was walking very slow and had a very serious, gloomy expression on his face. We all looked at him waiting for him to say something. He then muttered in a very sad tone, "Have you guys heard? Elvis is dead." He walked out the same way he came in. The news left us, to say the least, at a loss for words, astonished, and perplexed.

I wasn't born yet either. That doesn't stop me from being a diehard E fan.

It's good to know that young people like you, even though you weren't born yet, are Elvis fans. That shows that a great performer will have fans even in future generations.

Elvis died two months before I was born, so needless to say I don't remember it.

I think I kind of inherited my love for Elvis. I'm the 3rd generation of my family that is an Elvis fan. My grandma was a fan of E. My mom is a fan of E. I'm a fan too. I would love to go to Graceland someday, after I save up a ton of money. I know I would probably want to get every piece of memorbillia they sell in the gift shops. lol

I have my favorite singers and bands, but sometimes I get sick of them. Elvis is different. I bought my first Elvis cd when I was about 12 or either 13. I'm 18 now, and I'm still devoted to the King.

I don't remember where I was but I remember the date because my grandpa died the next day.

Sorry to hear that, Penny Lane. Well, at least they left this world almost at the same time.
