Elvis was human, and he had flaws like us all. He deserves some empathy! He did then, and he does now. May his soul rest in peace!

Elvis said to Linda Thompson several times that he knew he had Self Destructive Tendencies. Elvis was Elvis downfall sadly..Rip Elvis, love the King

I wish I'd been around when Elvis was alive because I missed too much. Even at his worst he was the best.

[@PaulaPlamondon]

Mood swings probably more because of the drugs,after you take them for so long they don't do a thing after a while. So sad the whole thing.

[@jesseserna8424]

I am and was a fan of his but Elvis killed Elvis,it’s still sad to watch his last concert,didn’t know who he was til day he passed (12 in 1977) my parents was country western.RIP King of Rock .

@@wolf-1346hey don’t we all, but you don’t degrade just from what he was using. Not that young at least, he worked too hard and his body couldn’t handle it. That’s the truth, he put everyone but himself first and that’s why his body couldn’t handle it any longer.

No man ever looked as good as Elvis Presley, particularly 68’ - 73’ Put him in a room full of supermodels and your eyes still fall back on him. Scary stuff. God given ✝️🙏🏻❤️

[@Boogenhagen100]

this short video doesn't even scratch the surface. Elvis had many discussions with his hairdresser of all people "why me?" he had a shitload of self doubt going on... col. tom parker ran him into the ground with that vegas crap ( elvis actually hated las vegas). a multitude of external and internal factors killed Elvis.

[@MichaelWarchol]

It is shocking to see Elvis’ decline from June, 1968 ( when they taped the 1968 comeback special)to June 1977 when they taped his CBS concert special. I’ve said this before , but I’ll say it again. Elvis in 1977 was the first Elvis Presley impersonator.

Lack of self discipline is what killed Elvis.

[@dannad123]

what is self discipline to a normal human being?

[@G.M.1944]

I think it’s more broad and more complex than that. He showed a lot of self-discipline in the professional areas in his life, for all but the last few years of his life, I would say. To be able to perform all those shows, 1100+ in the 1970s alone, to great public acclaim back then, to be able to produce and perform superbly in countless studio recording sessions for 20 years, also took a lot of self-discipline. To manage his large entourage. I think ultimately a lonely, broken heart because of the failing of his marriage and the harsh realities that this confronted him with as he was aging, combined with bad genetic factors and numerous pills for pain, anxiety and sleeping problems, all resulting on too much strain on the heart and arteries, led to his demise. I’m just glad he left the world with great music and performances, that still uplift and comfort people, daily, bless that man.

[@spiritnme7772]

He had an autoimmune illness that was not known of back then! He did not plan to die! ​@@G.M.1944

[@jennyjorgensen9935]

That is a strange opinion and pretty arrogant to state that YOU know what killed Elvis. You have a lack of knowledge and perspective.

[@CadiaComanducci]

Buonasera a tutti e scusate se mi intrometto ma proprio non posso sentire /leggere certe affermazioni. Elvis non aveva nessuna intenzione di suicidarsi anzi, voleva fare ancora qualche tour e poi prendersi un lungo periodo di riposo , pensando di dare una svolta alla sua carriera occupandosi di cinema (così ho letto in interviste di persone a lui vicine). È vero che aveva problemi di soldi....Parker, le sue spese folli fatte negli anni e molti denari spesi per amici, familiari, collaboratori e per la ex moglie (il divorzio , pare, gli costasse una fortuna). Ma soprattutto Elvis era malato e molto. Ho letto il libro di S.Hoedel (che consiglio, basato su interviste a medici e ricerche dettagliate scientifiche) ed è impressionante scoprire quali condizioni di salute aveva Elvis. Molte condizioni erano ereditarie per parte di madre (la signora Gladys aveva avuto gli stessi problemi in alcuni organi del corpo e cosi altri fratelli della donna). I tanti farmaci che lui prendeva servivano per curarsi e negli ultimi tre/quattro anni, per sopravvivere. Non era drogato , non assumeva eroina....era dipendente da sonniferi, antidolorifici, sedativi...certo erano potenti e con effetti collaterali importanti quali confusione mentale, sbalzi d'umore, depressione, rallentamento fisico. Cuore, fegato, polmoni, intestino, occhi....organi vitali che in Elvis erano compromessi. Era destinato a morire giovane, purtroppo. E al tempo, nessuno conosceva la vera verità, lui non ne parlava. Il dr Nick e pochi altri, sapeva. Oggi dopo tanti anni, dire che Elvis non ha avuto autodisciplina è perlomeno riduttivo. Ha dimostrato anche di essere un professionista serio e un uomo sensibile e generosissimo. Non è stato lo stile di vita che lo ha ucciso ma la malattia. Saluti

To me elvis had his own demons being an elvis fan i have this dvd called the last 24 hours if only tom parker gave elvis time off but tom parker was money hungry and pushed him to the bitter end 😢

[@ConcertFootageNate]

Elvis needed that money to keep him goin. Sure Parker did him wrong but Elvis took on these tours cause he wasn’t selling records like he had, he did t have any hits for few years in the 70s. Parker is guilty of a lot, but those tours was Elvis pushing for more steady income to fund the jets, Graceland, etc. Exactly why he told Billy smith he couldn’t stop His lifestyle was expensive as hell

Actually the last tour was Elvis's idea!

Not everyone who commits suicide does it immediately and I believe Elvis committed long, slow suicide. Elvis was no dummy, his mom died young and he knew the eventual end results of what he was doing.

Elvis had a condition called megacolon. The drugs certainly made it even worse. So much so a colostomy may have been his only option.

[@saulcastillo2908]

Elvis resides in heaven now, with his beloved family, Gladys, Vernon, daughter Lisa Marie & his twin brother, Jesse Garin. May he find "Celestial Peace & Fulfillment singing to his heavenly audience".

[@michaelhurley3171]

Killer toilet! It ate him! Beware of toilets people!!!

[@Invisibleindreamsonly]

Elvis sadly drifted away from the Lord's ways. He started out singing in church and his love for Christian music grew. But his life style was complete opposite of a Godly lifestyle by the end of his life. Did Elvis get to heaven only God knows but I wish he was living a better life without infidelity when he was married and adultery before he died.

[@ENGlishJELLo-yk7up]

A horrible diet and a heavy dose of medication is what really killed him! Like any artist, he's more popular dead than alive anyway
