SAN ANTONIO – The man known locally as “Hispanic Elvis” continues to fight a serious infection that forced him to be hospitalized more than a week ago.
His brother, George Cisneros, told KSAT on Monday that Hispanic Elvis is recovering in the hospital after an infection in his esophagus and testing positive for COVID-19.
Since news spread of his condition, fans of Hispanic Elvis have sent in several photos to KSAT 12 News showing their support and well wishes for the man who has entertained thousands of people at Market Square for more than two decades. Below are some photos sent to ksat.com/pins. If you have a memory or picture with Hispanic Elvis, you can share them here.
(His brother also spoke with KSAT about the impact Hispanic Elvis has had on San Antonio and his early days as a musician and song writer on the West Side. You can see that story in the video player above.)
