Everything in life, the people we meet and the places we go to, always become a memory. Life is like a memory lane, collecting polaroids from here and there until we reach the finish line. Tomorrow is never granted, so we shall make each day count and live a life we can be proud of and leave this world with dignity and honor and peace.

[@Patracat]

Watching those men talk about Elvis, you can tell they all loved him. Made me cry just listening to them, it must have been a HUGE shock. Bad enough for us fans, but those men were with Elvis Day in, day out, there to protect him and look after him. So many people didn't understand their role in Elvis' life, including Priscilla who openly stated she never felt really married to Elvis with the entourage. Linda Thompson and Ann-Margret did, but they were more mature than Priscilla and understood Elvis' need for his long term mates to be there for him. Not something the average man in the street could understand, but Elvis was far from the average man in the street, living with the constant pressure of fame and scrutiny of the media.😢

[@jimcowan8770]

Haha! Very True! He wasn’t average!

[@lynnshrader1218]

Why did they betray him? 😡

[@Patracat]

@@lynnshrader1218it depends on a person's opinion of the books that have been written. I don't think any of the MM betrayed him. If you read their books from cover to cover, and think about what they have written, they are only telling in their own words, from their memories, whatever they saw and experienced, Obviously over 10 to 20 years there will be discrepancies in the various versions of events, but they all boiled down to the same thing, that Elvis was his own worst enemy when it came to self medicating with prescription drugs, and they were all worried about him, but he refused to listen to anyone. Not only the MM but Priscilla, Linda, and many of his girlfriends also saw what was going on, and when they couldn't do anything they had to walk away. I wonder how Ann-margret would have coped; Elvis wasn't as badly addicted when they were together, although she might have known toward the end, as it sounds like she stayed in touch with Vernon and some of the MM.

[@Sergigrinkovvolponyfan]

I knew Sonny really well. He cried when he talked to me about Elvis.

[@debra2700]

@@Patracat I read the book and there was no reason to write things like Elvis hated women with big feet and would jump out of bed when he saw them or the things he did in Vegas when they were all fooling around. They didn't write that book to get him to open his eyes and quit drugs, they wrote it out of revenge for being fired.

It‘s hard to forget someone that gave you so much to remember, and you never should forget. It‘s so obvious these men all loved Elvis❤️ it makes me sad what a sad life Elvis had and how much he suffered in silence. I think Elvis was the type of person who wouldn’t fully expose his emotions or what was going on, I think he never had a person that understood him and was an anchor to him. He always felt half, never complete. I think he walked through like with a big hole in his heart that never got filled. It‘s mostly because of his missing twin and his mother that died. I hope wherever he is now, he feels complete and full and found peace.

So heartbreaking loving such a beautiful person who is addicted and destroying themselves not because they want to but because they really can’t stop - there is no greater pain. No one can stop this. No one. Everyone wants to blame someone or something. At the end of the day, only that person can make the decision to quit, and some simply, simply cannot. They can’t. Nothing harder to live with than realizing that. And the more it hurts when it’s a person like Elvis. And there will never ever be another like him.

Agree with Lamar 100% that poor excuse for human being SOB Parker worked him to the ground not to mention his outrageous 50% fee, but most of all preventing Elvis to fulfill his dreams and aspirations like touring the world, making it in the film industry which would have relieved some stress financially where he would have made more money to make his obligations met and still have time to take time for himself which would have made him happy and he wouldn't have need for all the unnecessary opioids. My god he was only one man who had a huge payroll and expenses weighing on his generous shoulders that stressed him .

[@ValTheGal1960]

What Really happened? Do you have some idea? Honestly,I'd like to know.

[@wrestlingterrier8366]

@@ValTheGal1960 Yes, I know what happened but from experience I also know that talking or writing about out publicly may result in being banned (it happened on a Reddit sub). It's very hard for all those who love Elvis to accept the truth. If you wish to know more, get in touch with me directly (if you wish of course)!

[@wrestlingterrier8366]

@@ValTheGal1960 Vernon never told Dave, Sonny and Red, the real reason they were let go like that. The "expenses" excuse was not true at all. There's a lot more to this. Same thing with Elvis's death. Elvis was turning his life around, they were planning a major international tour. Larry Geller and Billy Smith and others can confirm all this. Elvis was not that sick and that last picture taken of him driving into Graceland hours before his death as well as the accounts of others around him, of his final hours, confirms that. Very few people know what really happened to Elvis on that August 16th. Vernon himself knew it. Had Dave, Sonny and Red been there that Aug 16th, chances are Elvis would have not departed this world that easily. Vernon and Elvis were convinced by others that Dave, Sonny and Red had to be fired but they were also instructed not to tell them the real reason in order to avoid further trouble or real legal action by the three men. In other words, Vernon first and through him, Elvis himself, were deceived and kind of forced to get rid of those three guys and it has to do with what really happened later on that Aug 16th in Graceland. Some people learned the truth including Vernon himself but they couldn't do much about it though two people did try just to realize they shouldn't go down that route, for their own sake. This is all that can be shared here (and perhaps not even that). I wish I could share everything I know along with the documents and files that proves it. There's a lot more to what really happened to Elvis Presley that day. Why am I writing this? Well I love Elvis. He was a very unique soul and it's not fair what happened to him. Dave is a good honest man but he doesn't really know whay he was fired like that. That's why He, Red and Sonny were so hurt and felt betrayed. They had done nothing wrong and did love Elvis, but some people wanted them out of the way! kzbin.info/www/bejne/laOWnIOPr9h4irM

[@ValTheGal1960]

@@wrestlingterrier8366 I'm not sure If you can answer this but,(it may sound stupid) and you may not be able to answer, did he pass away on August 16th??

[@wrestlingterrier8366]

@@ValTheGal1960 Yes! He did pass away. This whole worldwide belief that he faked his own death, that he's still around, is part of a major coverup to distract everyone. The more people look for alive Elvis the less they spend paying attention to what may have really happened to him. A lot of those Elvis sightings and stuff, have been "planted" there for it to be found by people. Elvis was murdered by powerful people. They had two people (moles) within the "Memphis Mafia" team. Dick Grob, who was in charge of Elvis's security team was also convinced that Elvis was murdered. That day, Dick Grob was in Portland with some other guys setting up everything for the tour that would start there. So for a short period of time (that only close people knew), Elvis's security was lax and with Dave Hebler, Sonny and Red previously fired, it was the right time to do the job. Elvis's doctor, as well as Dick Grob, Vernon and some others knew that someone very close to Elvis had let the murderes in. Vernon hired two private detectives but died two years later. The whole autopsy was a charade and the coroner assigned was none other than the man who was in charge of Marilyn Monroe (who was also murdered). A good friend of Elvis, a British actress also knew the truth. Ended up moving to memphis to find out more and to "open" the case. What happened to her next, made her understand that she was messing with the wrong people. She ended up fleeing the city. There's a lot more I could write. I cannot share the names of the two individuals who betrayed Elvis. He trusted them totally. Elvis had done nothing wrong and the powers that be decided to remove him for complex reasons. Many years later same thing happened to Michael Jackson. Elvis was a good talented man, too young, he had big plans and was turning his life around. It breaks my heart to know his life was cut short and that very few people know the truth.

[@jeremiahrowesr.3130]

It’s so sad to lose such a great talent, because of his own stupidity. Yes there were other factors such as, his heart, His enlarged colon. But the man was doing drugs that’s all there is to it, yes all these people loved him, including his friends and family. I love what Billy Smith said about his cousin Elvis, and he asked Elvis why don’t you stop doing this, why don’t you get off of the stuff, take a vacation relax and go to rehab. And it broke my heart that Elvis said I can’t shake it, that’s when you know that they are that far gone to where they said they can’t stop. And rest in peace Lamar Fike, but he said in a video with is other Memphis mafia friends, that Elvis loved taking drugs, and that’s very sad. When I went to his house a couple years ago I loved it, and I looked at his grave and touched it. And I said you know Elvis man you knew what you were doing, you even stood on stage and said you weren’t taking drugs, but you knew that you were, and that’s why you got so flipping angry. And I looked at his grave and I kept talking to him. And I said at his grave I said you need to get to see your daughter grow up, you ruined her life because of your actions. I said the worst thing was also Elvis I said this right at his grave when my wife live visited in 21. I said you had the audacity, to listen to the fat pudgy little snake all your life. And I said the fact that you hired him back after firing him, that was your fault. I said this man drove into the ground, and I probably shouldn’t talk this way as a Christian man, but I said right at Elvis Presley‘s grave I said, I said you were Colonel Tom Parker‘s little bitch. you were his little minion that he could treat like trash, and steal from you.

These were the men who knew Elvis best, and losing him was very very sad, but when it comes to the crunch, the only man who could have saved Elvis Presley, was Elvis Presley. When someone is in that mindset of self-destruction, nothing anyone else says or does can change that. In fact, it makes matters worse. Some of these men did stand up to Elvis and tell him the reality of what the drugs were doing to him, but Elvis couldn't see it. He was in denial that he had a problem, and even if he did know the grim reality, he knew it was too late. The compassion these guys had and still have is palpable, and they will see him again on the other side.

[@carolynbuckton6004]

When a person has health problems and are taking a lot of prescription medications the people that are around them , treat them different. They don’t understand, and are very judgemental. It’s a lonely place to be. I understand what Elvis was going through. I believe he was tired, and really wasn’t looking forward to the tour. I believe he went to the bathroom, and struggled to go. Frustrated by his own body, he decided to take a little more pills that would decide his fate. If he was meant to live, he would go on tour. It has never been anyones fault to why Elvis passed, and I hope one day people understand this.

Because everybody in the studio around me in my early twenties was on drugs everybody in our apartment was taking amphetamines and cocaine, nobody was getting sober anytime soon so, have made it very clear the Memphis mafia they partake doing it to you know when they're not saying that they're better people they loved actually loved Elvis I watched a lot of documentaries with the Memphis Mafia, they absolutely adored him that he was like a brother to them and I can see it and it just breaks my heart Elvis Presley again we could look at everything he's done all the money he gave away all the Cadillacs he bought and always keep in mind everytime Elvis got his massive paychecks he gave everything away first and then bought what he wanted to keep that in mind, again we never forget our humble beginnings and that's the biggest piece of Elvis Presley I carry with me again I'm not a novice superfan maybe I'm mistaken myself maybe I am I don't know but all I know is that man nobody will ever ever ever come close to the way he treated drummers either, very quickly he loved and appreciated and always encouraged every drama that he played with, as a drummer I've been drummin for 15 years I also want to mention I've tried warming up to some of Elvis's live performances that performance in Hawaii I found myself getting tired, trying to copy Ronnie you know what I mean just to warm up in the studio before I got to drum track down absolutely absolutely one of the greatest entertainers of are time and his personality and his character and his love for the Creator made him who he was I want to point that out that drug addiction was between him and Jesus and that's all it is and I just want to make sure I get a chance to share my opinion my perception in my personal admiration 4 is very larger-than-life human being, this man was the embodiment I think of how we should all treat one another if we ever get shitloads of money rest in paradise big fella thank you for your, example, and thank you for your contributions the true embodiment also of God country family, I couldn't say no to my fans either no I was never ever at all bigger and or even close to famous and I'm happy about that too, but I know what it's like to make sure that that album is to the upmost repertoire of how you want to let that record be released no mistakes as to be pristine everything has to be perfect for my listener because that listener is now part of me because they are part of my music .

None of that would have changed what was happening with his colon. The drugs either contributed to or caused more shut down of the ability to remove waste from his system. To untwist or cut away part of the colon and reattach to the abdomen is no small procedure especially back then. It almost certainly would have lead to a colostomy bag. Anyone think this was a risk Elvis Presley was willing to take? Vicki

Elvis never did pills or drugs stop it!!

Why did it take 8 hours to check on him?? Was he a person who often spent 7 hours on the toilet?

[@atomicflash1753]

I think you got them times wrong I think Ginger woke up around 12:30 or 1:30 pm and walked in the bathroom

[@chriswalker4271]

It was Tom parkers falt for using Elvis

[@deborahcruse8542]

Did he die

[@tammyhildreth8242]

1977 he was so far gone in the drugs to if ever been saved. Talented but choose to live the lifestyle to be the image.

[@ericbryant-dz8mj]

[@USAScotland]

Sure thats how things happen but really evil seeps in and this dude was alive and died in 2008. His singing to the public stopped and he did not care if he lived in Memphis or did Evil have many look alikes of him and you?

[@RobbieWallace-tq8ch]

He did not have emphysema his voice was to strong for that if you want to settle it all dig him up and number one prove it's him number 2 the drugs DID NOT kill him his body failed him his liver him colon and finally his heart plus he had bone cancer all over his body that would have been the most painful horrible death the lord knew that so he stopped his heart he passed out and that was it he went home

[@tolistolis8277]

Ask every british person you know and i am sure he/she agree with me: i am sure colonel take imformations about english press,english press have no limits,in england elvis secrets(drugs) was matter of time to run in newspapers first pages.

[@ludwigvoncocksucker6197]

To have a true friend like Lamar Fike…He loved Elvis

[@rickmiska3544]

These guys didn't give a damn about Elvis. All they cared about was their paycheck

[@ericbryant-dz8mj]

Sure they did

[@michaelshatilla818]

To not understand the importance of these guys it's clear you don't know elvis Presley at all. If you're a fan do your research and you'll then discover their role.

[@bonitabrewer2740]

Dave hebler , Sonny and red west’s hands have blood on them too as much as Parker.

[@johnclaba1457]

Such rubbish about Elvis being overworked. In his busiest year Elvis worked about 100 days and rested for 260.
