The clue refers to the many rumours that Elvis is still alive.
2. Madonna Louise Ciccone
Known as just Madonna, she is an American musician, dancer, and actress.
3. Prince Rogers Nelson
Known as just Prince, he is an American musician.
His song, "Darling Nikki", prompted Tipper Gore to urge warning labels on records. After a senate hearing on obscenity in popular music, some albums required a label such as: "Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics".

| Good puzzle! To be a stickler, I got stuck on Madonna, becasue her full birth name is Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone. ;) |

| What I can find says her name at birth was Madonna Louise Ciccone. The "Veronica" that is commonly cited as one of her birth names is really her confirmation name, chosen for the religious ceremony when she was in her early teens. |
