in 1979, Geraldo Rivera anchored an hour-long program for ABC's 20/20 titled "The Elvis Cover-Up," which established that Elvis was dependent on prescription medication. Here is the complete broadcast (with a couple of Elvis performances deleted for legal reasons) and subsequent updates.

I met and talked to Elvis on July 4th 1955. In Brownwood Texas. Very friendly and polite young man. He had too much pressure for any one human to carry. Very sad to lose him.

That is something else my friend. Being in his presence, you were touched by a very special human being that till the day he died would've told you that he was no better than any of us, Elvis just had something very special meant for the world. You were very lucky to have met & talked with Elvis Presley. Bless You🙏

@@user-zv4hv1hh4q Seriously, this is my question. WHY was his bowel obstruction not taken seriously? It didn't get that bad all at once. We know Elvis suffered from insomnia since at least the age of 21 so when it comes to Elvis, it's not hard to understand why he would welcome relief from it. However, this doctor got away with murder no doubt. He neglected Elvis and his medical issues that didn't involve prescribing enough narcotics to kill a horse. It's a horrible thing.

Dr. Nick kept Elvis sick, or he would have helped Elvis to get well, would have found a surgeon to clear the bowel obstruction. Just don't understand how that could go on that long as severe his condition was. The pain and suffering Elvis went thru. Toxins building up in his body. Why?

No human being could keep the pace up that he did for many years without something giving way.Rest in peace along with your mom and other family members. SLEEP WITH THE ANGELS.

ur missing the whole point im not talking about elvis twin im talking about the former elvis being jesse dna says it to be true and so does people passing lie detector test or that photo of jesse when he first meet his grandson benjiI have constructed this web site in order that my name (on my own website) will come up in search results when anyone does a search for my name. This is being done to counteract the rumors and lies about me on other websites I will say only that Elvis’s/Jesse’s and Dr. Hinton’s book is the truth - co-written by Elvis/Jesse - the man who performed so magnificently as Elvis Presley.My friend Jesse is the real man who lives still…not the superstar image of which he grew so weary. Jesse has been friends with my husband and me for many years beginning in the Spring of 1992. Over the course of these many years, Jesse has proven to me time and time again that he is indeed Elvis. Neither Elvis/Jesse nor I owe anyone anything…not one more word than those which Elvis/Jesse wrote in the book. Unfortunately, there have been many false rumors and out-and-out lies told about me since 2001 when Jesse’s and Dr. Hinton’s book was published. My name in the book was shown as “Shuma“. However, people who came after me as far back as 1990 - 1991 as a result of my newsletter, recognized me in the book and began a whole new round of attacks. Even today I hear rumors of things about me being passed around. I chose to remain very private. I have not stepped forward publicly to explain nor defend myself since my one attempt (on an Internet forum) in Feb. 2003. I finally asked Jesse’s permission to use my real name to defend myself. When asked, Jesse said, “Yes and you can use my name too!” Footnote: It is now 2020 and I have had this website for over 11 years. Shortly after I began this site, Jesse asked me to be his “voice“. I have worked faithfully every day since the day he asked me to do that for him in 2009. The following 170+ pages are a testament to his support of me and my devotion to him. I invite everyone to follow along with Jesse and me as we share the truth…Elvis’ truth.I am very happy and gratified to have reached a total site visitor count of one million today. I began this website in mid-May, 2009. I have fought tooth and nail to keep this site accurate, strong, and open to everyone. I take it so very seriously that I am standing up for, and presenting the truth about, the man the world knew and loved as Elvis Aron Presley. It is one of the greatest honors of my life to be blessed with the trust and friendship of the amazing man who was Elvis and who is now Jesse. I thank everyone so very much for visiting my site and making it possible for my site to have achieved this fantastic number of visitors. Most of all, I thank Jesse for being there with his moral support and his friendship…and, most of all, for his permission to use my real name to defend myself against all the lies which had already been spread on the Internet about me. That occurred after Jesse’s book was published in 2001 when a few very mean-spirited people recognized that I am Shuma in Jesse’s book. Had that not taken place, I would have never shared my friendship with Jesse here on my site nor in any other public manner. Again, my heartfelt thanks to everyone for making this possible.I know Jesse will be happy to see this take place for he knows all the work, determination and trials that have gone into reaching this level of success. I am still looking forward to our 6 year anniversary next month. I can’t recall exactly what date I first sat down to establish my website. But, I know that I was doing a good bit of work on it on May 24, 2009, and so I am going to make that my anniversary date. For those who don’t know the history of my site, I set out to have just one or two pages in my own name to defend myself against the lies which were published about me on the Internet. That was my only purpose and my only goal. However, it was no time at all until “Elvis people” started coming out of the woodwork to attack me. So, with each attack, I came back with more proof. And so it has gone for right at 6 years. The people who attack me only dig a deeper pit for themselves to fall into. As Elvis/Jesse says “The truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time but it’s not going away.“ This website is a labor of love for Jesse. It is for his sake that I have continued on this rough and rocky road. He honors me by choosing me to be his confidant and “voice“…I will NOT fail him. I will, once again, display below his letter of affirmation to me of his decision which he wrote in March 2009. I had no idea when he told me of his thoughts and wrote the letter to me that I would ever do anything to act upon his decision. God knew, and Jesse perhaps sensed, that I was going to be put in this fight-for-right battle within just a few short months. Before I even thought of starting this web site, I did ask Jesse if I could use my real name to defend myself and he said “Yes…and you can use my name too.” and so I did, and here we are so much later with so many battles behind us and determined to face whatever the unenlightened souls may throw our way. “Just like a tree that’s planted by the water, we shall not be moved.“ I, most of all, thank Jesse for his loyalty and never wavering support of me and the work which I do to maintain this place for the REAL truth about Elvis Aron Presley to be shared with those fans who come here because they love the man behind the image and not just the image.I am so very honored to announce that Wanda June Hill who was a very close personal friend and confidante of Elvis’ for 15 years, right up to the day he “retired”, has written a statement and letter of endorsement for me to post on my site. In this statement, Wanda states that she now KNOWS that Jesse is really Elvis. She and I have, over the course of several years, become good friends and she has spent a lot of time on my website perusing my material. She has been thinking back and recalls all of the things which Elvis was going through back in the last couple of years before he left. He told her so many things indicating that he would like to just stop being Elvis, take care of his health, and be a regular person. There was no way out for him except to “die“. I have created a new page devoted to the statement and letter of endorsement written by Wanda. I hope everyone will visit and take time to grasp the significance of Wanda June Hill’s statement that she now KNOWS that my sweet friend, Jesse, really is the man who the world knew and loved as Elvis Aron Presley. Also, Jesse has given me several things to tell Wanda which only he and she would know. Below is the link to my new page. Please do visit this most important page of my website. This statement by Wanda plus the page proving that Jesse’s DNA does match the first cousins on Elvis’ Smith and Presley’s sides of his family should be enough to convince even the most die-hard skeptic.

yea we all absolutely love Jesse who was Elvis Presley I just want the truth out and why he went in to hiding that's why the man who claimed to be Elvis Presley back in 2002 and even wrote a book I regarding that why his DNA match's both sides of the Elvis Presley family tree even dr Hinton who was Elvis aka Jesse's dr why he passed a lie detector test when asked is Elvis Presley alive and he said absolutely it's the absolute truth dr Hinton was even given gifts from Jesse like PJs from muhumad Ali cufflinks from Anna Margret and even rings of Elvis and that's why after Elvis supposedly passed away a photo of him was taken in the pool house of Graceland and then Graceland denied it was him and blocked that door or the fact that Priscilla once said on Oprah oh I was talking to Elvis the other day ? People might think I'm crazy but I have seen proof that not only did Elvis fake his death in 1977 but then there's that photo of Jesse aka Elvis Presley with his grandson Benji storm the first time he meet him in 1994 Jesse has identical moles on his legs as Elvis it has to be him or why does Elvis tomb say Elvis Aaron Presley his real names Elvis Aron the to a they put on his tombs because the first a is for the letter alive I just want the truth about Jesse who is Elvis pls be honest Linda Priscilla Lisa Marie Riley and anyone else who knows Jesse is in fact Elvis or explain to me why Jesse's DNA match's Elvis and why his handwriting match elvis Below you will see two DNA reports which prove that Jesse’s DNA matches first cousins from both sides of Elvis’ family. The first lab report is a comparison of the DNA between Jesse and Donna Presley…the Paternal first cousin of Elvis. Donna is the daughter of one of Elvis’ father’s sisters, however she uses the Presley last name.Below You will see the DNA lab report which is a comparison of the DNA between Jesse and Brenda Smith…the Maternal 1st cousin of Elvis. Brenda is the daughter of one of Elvis’ mother’s brothers. Jesse’s DNA was obtained by FOX 8 TV in 2002 from a saliva kit which Jesse furnished to them. The second Jesse’s DNA was obtained from a letter envelope which Jesse licked in 2008. These two samples matched each other and they matched the DNA of Elvis’ two first cousins on both sides of Elvis’ family.This is the final FOX 8 News report regarding Dr. Hinton and Jesse. In this report you will see a final DNA report which shows that Jesse is, indeed, related to Elvis’ two first cousins. One on the Smith side of the family and the other on the Presley side of the family. There is only one other person on earth who would match these relatives and that is Elvis’ double first cousin Patsy Presley and one may rest assured that she did not let Jesse use her DNA. Of course, Jesse did not come out publicly in 2002. He had been telling me, with no doubt whatsoever that he was NOT coming out. Hinton and Felix Johnson thought that they could manipulate and pressure Jesse into coming out. I tried to get word to them several times that he was not coming out. They ignored my messages and continued to lie saying that he was coming out in 2002.Below is the latest news about the delayed release of the Elvis biopic movie which has been in the works for a long while. I probably will not be viewing this movie, after all, as I have gotten the impression that this may be an unfair portrayal of Col. Parker. If it turns out to be a good account of the real man who Col. Parker was, I may change my mind. I want to emphasize that in all the years I have known Jesse, he has NEVER once said a single bad word about Col. Parker. On the contrary, he has always spoken of him with gratitude, appreciation, and respect. He told me that when Col. Parker died, he did not know what he was going to do. They were close right up until the time Col. Parker passed away. We owe a debt of gratitude to Col. Parker for coming up with the plan to fake Elvis’ death so that he could survive and still be with us to this day. It hurts me when I hear and see people saying words of hate about Col. Parker because I know how much he helped Jesse through all the years until he passed away. Col. Parker and Dr. Nick both have been badly misportrayed and misunderstood. Jesse told me that they both took the secret to their graves. Tom Hanks is playing the part of Col. Parker in the upcoming movie. Below is an excerpt of an article quoting what Priscilla Presley had to say about Col. Parker. In this instance, she did speak the truth: Hanks and his wife, actress Rita Wilson, had dinner with their friend Priscilla Presley in the hopes of getting a better take on the man he was playing. Hanks said he was taken aback by her reaction. “I was expecting to hear stories about the distrust she had for ‘Colonel Tom’ Parker over these many years. And she said, ‘No. He was a wonderful man, and I wish he was alive today. He took really great care of us. He was a scoundrel in his way,'” Hanks said. isaac maskey isaac maskey 5 months ago perfect match between elvis and the man who claimed to be elvis explain to me how im crazy because i look at dna evidence claiming elvis is alive you no why its crazy because people was told he passed away but jesses face matchs with elvis 100 percent id like to see priscilla explain to use who jesse really is cause from what i have see he is elvis and not only that hes got the same moles on his legs as elvis oh and his dna matchsi bealive this man is elvis like really people keep denying it but how is it hes got the same 2 mole on his leg as elvis and his dna match elvis family tree and why did they spell his name elvis aaron when we all no his real name is elvis aron and one time pricilla said on the oprah show i was talking to elvis the other day i can say 100 percent bob joyce is not elvis i get people might think i sound crazy but he has the same smille as elvis how can people keep saying its not him like for real it says that his dna matchs elvis family so who else could it be people might say why is he using the name jesse well because its possible his twin brother didnt surivie so he trying to give his brother a life by using the name because its simple twins have a special relationship and its possible if jesse passed away he would wanna use his brothers name because most people are close to there brother sisters mums or dadAa Phillip Allen Phillip Allen 1 year ago Elvis was a good man. He had too much pressure on him and it took its toll. 248 Bronco 77 Bronco 77 1 year ago Elvis Presley..arguably the most iconic singer that ever lived...he's memory will never die..TCB 118 Vicki Atkins Vicki Atkins 1 year ago Elvis is the full package.

@@gassbaggerwoods5955 When Elvis did the comeback special, the director convinced Elvis to go out on the streets. NO ONE approached him. Elvis was also known to go out in Memphis and assist police, by directing traffic and other things. No mobs. His "Memphis Mafia" has recounted several times Elvis would disappear on his own. No mobs. Elvis was catered to so much, that he struggled to do anything on his own. People that were around him, have talked, and laughed, about Elvis not knowing how to do things. Like not knowing how to call for a cab, climbing over a gate because he didn't know how to open it, and going somewhere then not having money to pay for something because someone else always settled the bill for him. I'm not denying that "normal" day to day life was possible for him. But there was no need to live like a hermit. He CHOSE to do so. There were famous people before Elvis, and after, that all manage to deal with the public, and not live like hermits. Elvis CHOSE to use his fame as an excuse for problems he created, and others he CHOSE to ignore. We can still like and appreciate Elvis for all he did, and gave the world...while being honest about the bad parts too. He was human, he had flaws and problems, just like everyone else.

What’s so interesting is that Elvis wasn’t trying to be “different” he was just being himself. Many things in one. He was surrounded by a team of people but not one of them could help him get off the pills... pills to sleep, pills to wake up, plus meds for various health issues. 42 is way too young. Why was he so swollen? At his last concert he could hardly move yet just a few years earlier, he was still active on stage, playing sports and practicing karate. He didn’t have siblings (his twin -Jesse Garon died at birth), his Dad was under the Colonel’s kool aid and money making machine band wagon, his Mom died at age 42 too, which affected Elvis deeply. Everyone that knew him said he was never the same after her passing. He was tired of the ride he couldn’t get off of. Ginger was too young and inexperienced to know how to handle him and his strong personality. We all miss Elvis. I pray he’s finally at peace. He was one of a kind.

Back when journalism was authentic, Geraldo was a pioneer of exposing investigations too bad that is no longer in existence today, as all is covered up now. The entertainment industry is a very powerful entity in spin control / controlling the narratives with their stars, as there is lots of money involved. I'm sure fans knowing that he died of a heart attack sounds a lot better than dying of drugs. I'm sure they thought that many fans would no longer see him as wholesome and pure knowing that he was addicted to these drugs. Elvis will always live on through his music! Thanks for uploading this!

“These doctors and friends just stood by and let it happen?” Elvis would fire anyone that wouldn’t stay in their lane. If they talked about his drugs, he would tell them stuff like he has it under control, or not to worry, it when angry, mind your own business… His doctors and friends had him in the hospital at least 3 times to dry out.. detox. Elvis would go right back to the pills AND NEEDLES. Elvis loved getting stoned. Seriously stoned. After staying clean for weeks before the Aloha for Hawaii… immediately right after…. While on his hotel room balcony … so stoned he could barely open his eyes, sweating profusely… the plans to the group to go touring with Elvis… cancelled. Every woman besides Ginger (she hadn’t had time yet and it was a part of Priscilla’s reason), left Elvis because his excessive pill intake including syringe intake. His but was so leather like that after years of getting shots in the but in the later years he could no longer as his but was like leather.. they shot him between his toes.. Elvis was a serious drug addict. Elvis wanted drugs and enjoyed being stoned. He would not stop even after numerous detox attempts and even almost dying a number of times. Sure, doctors prescribed it… friends were not to blame at all. Some maybe (not true friends), as they got drugs (including cocaine), to Elvis.

Almost died a few times from it via seizures. This video is a GOOD thing. Alot of people think prescription drugs cant kill. Anyone just starting to get hooked on painkillers, watch this and take heed. Anyone slating elvis or people like him for talking them more and more until something like this happens.... realise this, when you are addicted to them and maybe had them daily for any length of time, and you have to go 2 orv3 days without.

Nobody hardly said no to Elvis because they wanted money and new cars he gifted them. Little did they realize that they were helping to end his life at an early age. I think Dr. Nick cared but Elvis was hooked and hard to say no to. Colonel Parker didn't care as long as Elvis was preforming and making money. It's so sad because addiction can happen to anyone even someone as great as Elvis.

The same thing happened to his mama. Elvis being sent off to the army broke her heart: a lot of things did. She over indulged in alcohol. Elvis being trusting of his doctor- it was the pills. Uppers and downers are known for clogging you up. It’s really important to have a good gut health. It’s helps with blood flow- the oxygen in the blood cells- the food Elvis would eat had no oxygen partials in it to feed his blood- sure he fed his belly and appetite. But eating is more than that. It’s a spiritual experience to eat. And if you think of it in that way. You will be healthy and make more conscious decisions.

Elvis had a mega colon and it would twist. A year or so earlier they were considering taking a part of it out. Our whole family has bowel, bad livers, kidneys, hearts and circulation with most having addiction issues. The meds only exacerbated these problems. He had a barium study about 4 months earlier. It didn't flush out properly and set up like concrete in places and with the stool created a packed colon. Back then they didn't know a lot about autoimmune diseases. They run in our family too. By looking, if not diabetic with glaucoma and the organ and colon being connective tissue I am guessing he had some major undiagnosed autoimmune issues. Also Elvis was allegedly allergic to codeine. Where did that come from? Who was the friend Rick Stanley ran off that day. Why did Vernon feel the death was questionable enough to insist asking Ginger if she saw ANYONE else up there. She was asleep so of course she didn't see anyone. Vernon knew something. Joe E developed dementia later in life and I can't believe anything he said after a certain age. The nagging question of the codeine has bothered me always and what type the allergy was. Basically with a paralyzed colon it would have caused all manners of trouble with nasty stuff seeping into his body. Notice none of his men mention codeine. So where did it come from? This sweet, beautiful, talented man needed a rehab, a healthy diet and fiber and I'm wondering if he needed insulin or other blood sugar care. I am so sad this man lost his life so early. Drs were terrible to allow this to happen. God is enjoying his company and voice now.

ADHD hinders attentiveness and, thus, learning; I think someone like Elvis could become engrossed, was perfectionistic, could go deep in thought and analysis of his craft, not spastic in attention. For me high-strung means noticing, and taking in, little things; ADHD doesn't seem to let patients fixate long enough to notice and take in.

No one can comprehend what it's like to live a life that doesn't really belong to you. A life where everyone in the world thinks they have a right to take pieces of you for themselves. When you become "famous" the rest of the world doesn't look at you like you're still a human being, they don't care! They just want a part of you for themselves. Maybe it's because they think it will make them a little more important or special, I don't really know and never could understand it. Why wasn't the music & movies enough for everyone?! Why do they feel that everything belongs to them? Every "celebrity" is just a person with their own personalities, problems, Joys and heartaches. If you feel that you need certain things to get through the rollercoaster of life so be it. Life is hard enough when you're invisible to the rest of the world but it's even harder when the world thinks they own you. Nobody lives forever & when you live a life like that you've done more & seen more than most people ever will! You can't keep that level of living going for 70,80,90 or 100 years! Trust me you wouldn't want to! All the money in the world won't buy back the person you were before the world decided they owned you. And it's obviously true even after death...

MEDICAL REPORTS WERE NOT CORRECT AT THE TIME .OF HIS DEATH. HIS DIET AND LIFE STYLE WERE NOT HEALTHY. HE MAY HAVE MARRIED PRISCILLA BALLIEU, WHO TO MANY OPIONIONS FELT SHE HAD NOT PROTECTED HIM, OR GUIDED HIM TO LIVING WELL UNDER THE BEST GUIDANCE. THROUGH IGNORANCE OF THE MEDICAL PHYSICIANS AND KNOWLEDGE OF HIS CONDITION, ELVIS DIED BECAUSE OF THEIR INCORRECT DESCISION!. ELVIS REQUIRED STRONG PEOPLE TO PROTECT HIM FROM HARM. SUCH A GREAT TALENT HAD TO SUCCUMB TO EVIL AND GREEDY INDIVIDUALS WHO NEVER GAVE A DAMN ABOUT ELVIS .PRESLEY. WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE , WHETHER IT BE FAMILY , FRIENDS, FEMALES, MANAGERS , ELVIS COULD HAVE LIVED AND REACH OLD AGE .RESPECTFULLY! HE WAS EXPLOITED! IRMA VAN EYSSEN.

Thanks for uploading. You did a very good job converting an old VHS tape to a quite decent quality video clip on KZbin. Historically, it is very interesting for an Elvis fan. I heard about this 20/20 broadcast many years ago via a fanclub magazine outside the U.S. My heart goes out to Ginger Alden. She was only 20 years old and at least 20-24 younger than most of the people around Elvis, including Elvis in a very secluded group and also very public.As she was the first one to find him dead on the floor in the bathroom that dreadful early afternoon August 16, 1977 must have been traumatising. But Elvis being a public person she had to share her grief with the world. The one who suffered the most, though, was Lisa Marie.

Clearly he was lonely. He was very famous. Under a lot of stress. Wife leaves him. He lost his mom. Didn't have a mature woman in his life to take care of him. His doctors are responsible for his death. They should have warned him and perhaps not given him the pills. He was murdered. He needed someone to care for him. People behind his death should be charged. His manager wasn't a good guy. He should have told Elvis to focus more on his health and less on shows. He should have done international shows too. Elvis was killed under pressure and closed environment.

I don’t think he was lonely. I think he was sad for losing Priscilla, but their friendship was ongoing and they seemed to be at peace with each other. But I do I think he felt trapped and imprisoned by his own fame and stuck to controlling Col. Parker. But as to loneliness, I think he finally matured to the point where he could appreciate a relationship with Ginger Alden. But no one could ever hold Elvis accountable for his bad health decisions. Not even col. Parker.

@@wallacesnow439 I suppose you are referring to his father's advice to his then college age son that to avoid anti hispanic racism (Geraldo's father was Puerto Rican) he should use a more non ethnic name....Gerry Riviera/ Jerry Rivers. You must remember that when G.R. was starting out as a college student at University of Arizona at Tucson, that he was an olive skinned ethnic looking brash young man with a heavy New York accent and this was in 1965 ot 1966 when other than white races were not yet easily accepted. But, as luck would have it, Gerry's half Puerto Rican blood actually worked toward his ADVANTAGE. When he returned to New York after gaining his law degree, it turned out that the ABC TV NEWS DEPT. was looking to broaden their viewership by adding an HISPANIC REPORTER to their staff. Thus Jerry Riviera was happily re reborn back to GERALDO RIVERA!!!! To great success I might add. Now to your nasty comment about him being a so-called 'fraud' you might also be referring to the case of the EMPTY TOMB OF AL CAPONE. That fiascos was not G.R.'s fault. He only took that job for the money never suspecting it would turn out that way; making him the butt of jokes to this day. He laughed ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK!!! Thirdly, regarding your "all his life" phrasing you may be referring to his multiple marriages. Let's put it this way.......women first fall in love with his romantic charm ( as I did in the mid sixties but THAT'S another story ) then they fall in love with G.R. 's celebrity and finally, they love his money. But after a few years of his rather aggressive personality and perhaps a bit of womanizing, they have had ENOUGH. So, Mr. Naysayer, all that being said, he is always his AUTHENTIC SELF NOT A FRAUD! Take it or leave it and I guess YOU would be in the latter category. Yes? I would gladly relive the time I spent being ONE OF HIS SEVERAL GIRL FRIENDS. Great memories for this old lady. P.S. Geraldo Rivera is STILL working and no doubt enjoying his privileged lifestyle. What in the heck have YOU done with YOUR life??? Sincerely, Jo-Anna Lee Edwards San Fernando Valley, Calif.

Eminem said he was taking 80 valiums a night to sleep, in addition to vicodin and methadone, which he overdosed on and almost died. Amazing his body could handle that many Valium. My brother suffered from mental illness, and used to abuse his klonopin, taking 10 at a time. Unfortunately he died of an accidental od at age 34 on 2007, due to a mixture of benzos and heroin. He didn't even do heroin, but his girl did, and she was sleeping with him at my parents home when she woke up screaming that my brother wasn't breathing. I believe she must have either given him a line of heroin to help him sleep or he just decided to do a line while she was sleeping. Unfortunately benzos and opiates are a deadly combination, due to asphyxiation and you just stop breathing. I imagine that is what happened to Elvis. So tragic. That last performance of Unchained Melody is so powerful and emotional... probably his best performance ever... who knew it would be his farewell performance. 🙏🏻😢

When I saw the last concert in Kansas City Mo.. I was sitting in the nose bleed section I felt I could almost touch the top of the arena. All I could see was what looked like little ants running around on the stage , I could hear the music, but really could not even see Elvis.. I just saw a large white guy walking back and forth across the stage but could not see any features to say that was Elvis. My friend and myself were going to try and get closer to the stage. It took about 20 minutes to find how to get to the stage. There was an aisle that ran from one side of the arena to the other, it was right in front of the stage.. there were about a hundred men and women trying to get down to the front of the stage, but without a ticket for that area the Security Guards would not let anyone by..one old man was coming from those seats and was unhappy with something, saying he was leaving, he had seen Elvis many times and was going home, I asked if He was keeping the ticket as a souvenir and he handed it to me saying here, you get it signed. Well both my friend and I could not get pass the Guards with one ticket, so I gave her the ticket and she went what about you, I told her to go on and get by where other folks were standing in that area by the stage.. si she used the ticket to get down stage front.. I said to the folks standing there that there was enough of us to rush the Guards, and thats what happened. We all mad dashed past the guards and ran to the stage. At this time Elvis was singing the song that he gives all these scarves out to women. He wipes his face and bends down giving a girl the scarf and a kiss. And walks to the other side of the stage. So he is going back and forth across the stage, and men and women were running from one side to the other, trying to get to touch Elvis and get scarf or kiss. When he went to the other side of the stage everyone ran that way, I stayed on this side knowing he would come back this way. Well now here he comes and he wipes his face with a scarf, he is looking at me, and he reaches down to touch me and I reach up to get a scarf and touch him, and we are about 2 inches from touching hands, I could feel the heat from his body, then a herd of girls ran up my back knocking me to the floor and thats the last thing I remember, until one of Elvis's security( hired by the arena), helped me up and my friend asking if I was ok. Then I was asking her where Elvis was because I was kind of still unsteady, and over the speaker system we heard," Elvis has left the building". After the show I was very disappointed because I spent so much time trying to get down to the stage to touch Elvis that I only remember a couple things about the concert. One was him making fun of how many outfits he goes thru from splitting them , and I remember the song from 2001 Space Odyssey playing and thats my memory of his last concert... When ever I tell the story and say how disappointed I was, Folks would say that I had a great story to tell..

Rebecca Harrison my father never wanted to be called The King I love rock and roll the only reason why he never wanted to be called that is because he just wanted to be an Entertainer wanted to be able to sing he's enjoyed doing it but also the Carney of his manager also screwed his life this is why he did what he had to do and he found his way out there's a lot more to the stories if you keep searching you'll find it sincere TCB third son of Elvis Presley rocking and rolling baby

Same as the doctors trying to revive JFK when his brains had been blown out... that’s just what happens when it’s a famous person. They don’t want any room for questioning whether they did all they could. I’m sure there’s pressure from every angle.

My brother was fatally hit by a car, pronounced DOA and yet, they still tried to revive him at the hospital. The docs were doing their jobs. I don't know what the world was like in 1977, but I do know that medical malpractice runs rampant now and people in medical professions have to do all the proper procedures. There have been a few cases where a person has been revived. Its rare, but it happens. Besides, it was a famous person, so they went the extra mile and hoped against hope.

She's flat in the recount because She's aware Hindsight is always 20/20 and probably feels a lot of guilt. Strange how things in the moment just don't always register the way we think they should. She was sleeping until 2 because they were all taking substances, like I said in the moment it seems normal, it's when you look back on it with fresh eyes that the scary realizations come forth.

He still had "it" in the latter days of the '70s. He also had excrutiating spinal and hip arthritis - hence the pain medication so he could keep on performing. (I myself am afflicted with the same; it's no fun.) He was the best musician of all time imo.

I don't remember seeing Rivaldo's report. What an eye opener. EVERYBODY failed, not just Elvis: the doctors the entourage (Memphis Mafia) the pharmacist Many, many people. Now I realize that Elvis was ultimately to blame. We are all responsible for ourselves. But it's kinda sickening to listen to the excuses, isn't it? I didn't hear anyone say, "wow, I feel just terrible about what happened to my friend." But boy, they don't mind throwing him way up under that bus. Sometimes we all just need a little help from SOMEONE. We need to be saved from ourselves. Even Mrs. Gladys' very spoiled man-child needed help. If you couldn't help him? Okay. But don't be so happy to bite the hand that fed your leech ass all those years.
