This is not very likely to happen. (But then, weirder things have happened.)

Elvis Presley Enterprises allegedly received offers to dismantle Graceland and move it to Japan, China or the Middle East like the London Bridge that was moved to Lake Havasu, Arizona.

According to The Sun:

ELVIS’S Graceland mansion could be moved to Japan amid a £76million makeover row. 

City chiefs in Memphis, US, object to public cash going on part of the expansion. 

Bosses at the Blue Suede Shoes icon’s estate have threatened to dismantle and relocate it in the Middle or Far East. 

Joel Weinshanker, 48, said: “We had an offer ten days ago to move Graceland to Japan.
“We had two offers to move to the Middle East and one to go to China. 

“They offered us more profit than we could ever make in Memphis.” 

Refit plans include a hangar for Elvis’s planes, a larger visitors’ guesthouse, a club based on his living room and a 6,200-seat indoor arena.
