Gail Brewer-Giorgio (March 18, 1939 – January 25, 2025) was an American author whose works have speculated about the possibility that singer Elvis Presley may have faked his death in August 1977.
According to Brewer-Giorgio, her publisher inexplicably began to recall her novel, which led her to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Presley.
[3] This book was described by communication theorist Jonathan Sterne as a "peculiar blend of paranormal phenomena, autobiography and fact finding.
Fans of Elvis had been calling for a postage stamp bearing his image, but the rules of the United States Postal Service required a candidate to have been dead for 10 years.
Elvis was under consideration in 1988; however given the questions raised by Brewer-Giorgio and the increase in Elvis-sightings following the publication of her book, the fact of his death was in doubt.
