MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Thousands of Elvis Presley fans from around the world, some wearing his trademark outfits and sideburns, made their way to Graceland for a candlelight vigil ahead of the 34th anniversary of the singer’s death.

The vigil was the main draw of “Elvis Week.” About 30,000 people were expected, but that’s nothing near the 75,000 who are expected to flock to Graceland in 2012 for the 35th-anniversary event.

Fans trek each year to Memphis to remember the singer, who died Aug. 16, 1977, at age 42. The Associated Press
