Elvis 🎤 still earning, 40 years after his death💐

When a downward-spiralling Elvis Presley 🎤 died 40 years ago on 16 August 1977, a cynical music 🎵 industry insider was overheard to remark that it was a "smart career move".

Death gave a lucrative boost 👍to the selling power of not just Elvis, but also Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie and a host of other music legends‼️

Elvis's legacy and monetary 💸 worth remain immensely strong 💪 in particular - according to Forbes' list of top earning dead stars he earned $27m (£21m) in 2016, and sold one million albums.

The tourist attraction 📷 in northern Denmark 🇩🇰 is owned by Danish-born super-fan Henrik Knudsen, 53, who built a copy of the original Graceland mansion 🏯 to keep the rock 'n' roller's legend alive in Scandinavia.
