There is no more evidence Tupac is still alive, than there is that Elvis is pumping gas in Utah, or flipping burgers in Ohio! It's nothing more than the never-ending hope of a few, who refuse to accept reality, who believe in conspiracy theories, and continue to keep these kinds of tall tales alive. Whenever someone we love is taken away, whether they are someone we know personally, or just believe we know from their music or other performances, we simply don't want to believe it. The difference is, it's showbusiness or Hollywood, where we don't have the opportunity to witness seeing them dead in their coffin, as we usually do with family and friends who die. Sometimes, without having that visual proof, it's harder to let go or believe they are really gone. I guess too, some want to believe a star's death is part of a Hollywood scheme to help them getaway from it all. So, actually seeing them in their coffin might not be enough proof for anyone not wanting to believe it. When Elvis died, The National Enquire obtained a picture of him in his coffin, but there are still people today who insist he's alive and well selling real estate in Texas, or running a Starbucks in Chicago . . .
