Elvis impersonator is so bad he’s banned from doing pub karaoke in his home town
The 64-year-old now has to travel 13 miles to belt out his favourite Elvis tracks while donning the classic look
AN Elvis impersonator is so shambolic he has been banned from pub karaoke.
Grandad Richard Carpenter, 64, belted out the King’s classic hits in bars every night of the week.
He wore an Elvis jumpsuit and quiff wig to look the part.
But he was barred from the only two karaoke venues in his home town after organisers got fed up with his rubbish act.
Richard is also said to have fought with other performers, heckled them and threatened the DJ.
The amusement arcade attendant said: “I’m being victimised.
"Now I have to travel 13 miles when I want to sing karaoke.”
Richard lost his cool after he put his name down to sing but was not called at The York Inn in Exmouth, Devon, last month.

The Bank Pub also barred him for playing the maracas uninvited during a karaoke interlude.
He said: “I love Karaoke, it’s my only source of entertainment.
“But now I can’t perform at any of the karaoke nights in town because I’ve been banned from all of them.
"I’ve had my liberty taken away from me.”
The York said he got in a fight with another singer and was abusive to staff.
The Bank did not comment.
