Big Elvis

Fri, May 22, 2009 (5:40 p.m.)

In honor of Pete “Big Elvis” Vallee wedding this evening, we take a look back at a story Sun photographer Leila Navidi did on him last May. “Pete Vallee is half the man he once was. Without a doctor’s supervision, he has dropped a quarter ton, and now weighs 450 pounds. Five days a week, he performs on stage at Bill’s Gambling Hall and Saloon as Big Elvis.”
