Bald Elvis is rocked by threats
The world's only bald, Welsh-speaking, Elvis tribute act has been left all shook up after receiving death threats.
Geraint Benney said he had been receiving the threats from extreme Elvis fans who claim he is showing disrespect to "The King".
Mr Benney, from Aberdare, south Wales, said one fan had even threatened to shoot him.
He said: "Some people think my act is disrespectful because I am bald, but Elvis might even be bald himself now because he would be 71."
Mr Beeney, 34, said he had no plans to give up his show, which involves him cooking burgers on stage.
The show charts the music scene since Elvis's death and begins with Benney climbing out of a gold coffin. He doesn't actually sing any Elvis songs, only songs by artists which have come out since his death.
Nobody at South Wales Police was available to comment.
