Michael Fabricant has been ‘immortalised’ by Facebook Fans with the design of a new T-Shirt featuring Michael Fabricant as Elvis.

"This has come out of the blue" says Michael Fabricant. "I occasionally refer on Facebook and Twitter to Lichfield as ‘Lich Vegas’ as this is how some kids refer to our City as a reflection of the growing night-life it offers. I think it is a great alternative name and helps promote business to our area.

"So I was astonished and delighted when I started to get emails last night telling me that a group of locals have started selling a ‘Viva Lich Vegas’ T-Shirt featuring me! I have ordered two already!"

One Tweet email sent to Michael Fabricant last night stated "Michael – You are a legend in your own lifetime. You are immortal".

Michael says: "I am not taking all this too seriously, but it is a hoot!"

The T-Shirts can be ordered on-line from http://sabcat.com/?p=143 or by phoning 0843 289 5369 and cost £10 each including delivery.
