Tourist Kicked Out Of Elvis Presley’s Graceland Home For This Crazy Stunt

Author Rob Tanner
September 13th 7:07 AM

A British fan of Elvis Presley has been kicked out of the late singer’s former home after he took a dip in the Graceland swimming pool. Security had to kick this tourist out of Elvis Presley’s Graceland home for this crazy stunt. You can check out all the stupidity at The Daily Mail.

A video posted online shows a guy named Tommy Purcell climbing a Graceland fence marked “restricted area.” Then he briskly walks toward the pool as a security guard rushes toward him. Purcell then climbs onto the pool’s diving board and jumps into the water before the guard can stop him.

A second video shows Purcell climbing out of the pool before another guard escorts him off the property.

Purcell’s wife posted the clips alongside a laughing face emoji. Elvis fans don’t appear to find humor in the stunt. One comment said, “People are so disrespectful and I hope he got arrested.”  Another writes, “It is disrespectful for jumping into a dead man’s pool that’s not meant to be jumped in but meant to be looked at.”

GALLERY: Country Superstars Who Covered Elvis Presley Songs

In 2018, a group of superstars joined host Blake Shelton on NBC to pay tribute to Elvis Presley and his legendary 1968 TV special. A few years later, Baz Luhrmann’s 2022 movie Elvis chronicles just how that special came about, along with other aspects of Elvis’ story.

As the new movie sparks Elvis mania, we look at what the Elvis ’68 special tribute lineup looked like back in 2019.

The all-star group of music superstars performing included Post Malone, Ed Sheeran, Alessia Cara, Shawn Mendes, Adam Lambert, and Kelsea Ballerini. John Fogerty, Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez, Josh Groban, John Legend, Darius Rucker, Pistol Annies, Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, and Mac Davis.
