Kjell Elvis broke the world record in Elvis singing: – Will never do it again

After more than 50 hours of Elvis songs, cheers broke out on Saturday morning when Kjell Elvis broke the world record in Elvis singing, by almost eight hours.

With the song “Glory Glory Hallelujah,” Kjell Elvis finally reached the goal of singing Elvis songs for 50 hours, 50 minutes and 50 seconds on Saturday morning at 10.50.

“I will never do this again,” exclaimed Kjell Elvis when the last song was over, while the confetti rained in The Scotsman bar in Oslo, where he has stayed for over two days.

Kjell Elvis had then persevered since 8 o’clock Thursday morning. The new world record was already reached at 3.11 a.m. on Saturday.

But the 52-year-old kept going throughout. For the last half hour, he was still in good shape, smiling and dancing in the bar.
