Elvis Presley had a twin

He actually had a twin - one of the interesting facts about Elvis Presley. Elvis Aron Presley was born on January 8, 1935, at his parents' two-room home in East Tupelo, Mississippi, roughly 35 minutes after the stillbirth of his identical twin brother, Jesse Garon. Jesse was laid to rest the following day in an unmarked burial in the neighboring Priceville Cemetery.

Gladys - his mother was unable to conceive and have children after her painful birth. Because of this tragedy, the King endured suffering throughout his life. Jesse Garon's remains were never transported to Memphis. He remains placed in an unmarked cemetery in Tupelo to this day. In Graceland, he is commemorated by a gravestone, but not next to his mother, brother, grandma, or father.

The Presley family relocated to Memphis in 1948 to gain better opportunities. Elvis Presley attended Humes High School there, where he was regarded as shy and an oddball because he failed a music class. He was the first person in his immediate family to receive a high school diploma when he graduated in 1953. After he graduated, he worked at a machinist shop and drove a truck before stepping into his music career with the July 1954 recording of “That’s All Right.”
