Mojo Nixon, ‘Elvis Is Everywhere’ Singer, Dies While on Country Music Cruise


Mojo Nixon, best known for his 1987 novelty hit 'Elvis Is Everywhere,' died after a performance on the Outlaw Country Cruise. He was 66.

Nixon, whose real name is Neill Kirby McMillan Jr., was found dead today onboard the annual Outlaw Country Cruise, where he was regular presence both as a performer and co-host. Born in North Carolina, raised in Virginia, schooled in Ohio, and after traveling to England, Nixon first started playing music in Denver in a punk band known as Zebra 123. With his revved-up version of punky-rockabilly, he often skewered pop music figures in songs such as “Don Henley Must Die,” “Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant With My Two-Headed Love Child” and “Bring Me the Head of David Geffen.”
