What is this meaning "~hangs up~"
Hi I'm trying to understand as below sentence.
Neil
Just think: every time you appear as Elvis Presley, you get fans yelling, 'Elvis, Elvis, we love you, Elvis!' And after a while that boundary between you and the real Elvis starts to blur. It must be quite tempting to, you know, pretend that you're the king of rock'n'roll…
Alice
I'm not convinced, Neil. I think Elvis hangs up his wig and moves on. So let's move on too, and talk about the art of imitation. Here's British impressionist Jon Culshaw providing some tips on how to imitate – or copy – people.
But especially, I cant get understand the meaning of below sentence.
" I think Elvis hangs up his wig and moves on. So let's move on too,"
And why she use 'too'? I cant get understand well.

The flow of the conversaion is not tremendously clear at this point. As far as I can gather, when she says "Elvis hangs up his wig and moves on", she is talking about the Elvis impersonator. She is saying that, rather than believing he really is Elvis, the impersonator "hangs up his wig" at the end of the show, i.e. discards his Elvis costume, and "moves on" back to his normal life.
