David Thibault has captivated Elvis fans far and wide after a video of him performing The King’s holiday classic, “Blue Christmas,” went viral on the Internet – and now The ENQUIRER has the incredible story behind his overnight success.
“All this attention is like a dream,” David told us in an exclusive interview. “I’m not sure how to handle it, but it’s fantastic!”
