Below is one of the last known photographs of Elvis Presley, and it was taken close to his death at the age of 42. The “King of Rock” was born on Jan. 8, 1935, so if he was alive in 2019 he would be 83 years young. Elvis Presley was what you might call a “strapping lad,” but as you can probably tell his looks had faded by the time he died of respiratory failure on Aug. 16, 1977. Addiction to drugs and a die-hard commitment to keep performing for his fans led to his downfall. But what if he went sober and was still alive today? What would he look like?
