Elvis Last 24 Hours 

I was so saddened to learn the passing of most of the moffiabr

He never used a drug in his life these men are lying 😊

I can believe that…. There’s been so many of his family/friends that have said, how Elvis would do those very kind things for not only them but, stranger’s as well. He had a very giving & generous heart 💜 Thank you for sharing your comment with us

👌 👏 I love that guy

He seemed like a really good guy.

@@susanxyz5730 Elvis was a genuine good guy! Nothing fake about him..

Elvis lived in sin when he died, fornication. I don't think he's in the paradise.

He made Elvis his slave so that Elvis became a slave to narcotics so that he could be a slave to gambling debt he ran his slave into the ground with his addiction. . Col Parker wasn’t even a Col. he wasn’t even an American. He was in this country illegally .

@@NurseKathyAndTheLaw Yep. Never got above a Private.

@@ruthnail915 lol fr?

Parker was a real POS

@@NurseKathyAndTheLaw I'm with you. His name itself was a fraud, Colonel Tom Parker was a made up name. His real name was Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk, who was born in the Netherlands.

What about the island boys

You sure got that right. I’m so grateful to have been born in 57. For many reasons my generation had the best life , but, Elvis was the very best of all. There was only one Elvis. Wow! I can’t help but still wonder if he was a Prince from another planet….an Angel. Maybe🤔😍🥰❤️

My generation has eminem

@@pambb5743 l1

I agree Stephanie and it's not even close. There was Elvis and everyone else was fighting for 2nd place. Too much of a gap. Actually an incredible gap between him and whoever else they wanted to run up a flag pole.

If elvis was taking care of all of these people its because he wanted to.

@@desireeboone3631 exactly, he was and adult and people make out he was blinded by everyone. Elvis was doing what he wanted, even the drugs.

Totally agreed!! God bless you!!🙏🏻🙏🏻

It happens, I mean, wasn't the same with Michael and his anturage? Both family and friends keeping close tabs on all affairs? It's the way things work, I guess, there are no more superstars at that level, today, mostly because of the society that we live in, but imagine beeing all alone, in a world like that, all you have are family and friends, it's the truth, you need them to be there, to depend on you, because without any of them, Elvis, aswell as Michael, would be gone sooner than they have.

There is a Saying for that: Don't shit where you eat. Elvis mixed his private life with business life to make him feel more comfortable. That's understandable to a certain extent but it didn't make it easier in the long run. He became entangled everywhere and lost track and control of things and his entire life. It would have been better if he had strictly separated work and private life, so that he would also have had moments in which he could reflect on himself. That was totally lost. And in the end he destroyed himself through his irrationality and restlessness.

You can’t help someone, who won’t help themselves. Thankfully his music lives on. 💙❤️

@@marciajones2993 doctors could have stopped prescribing meds that enabled his addiction. So sad.

him and his daughter are together again.

What a sweet experience and memory🥰

God Bless you and your mom

Lovely memory. Thanks for sharing. 💜

Sweet story. Deepest condolences to you Christine.

Thanks for sharing your sweet memory with us. I was born after Elvis passed away but I love watching the 1970 live show. Was Elvis passing out his scarves nonstop at the show you saw?

You’re discounting Michael Jackson

@@fluffytail6355 No one was more generous with their time and money like ELVIS!!!!

So then why was MJ dubbed the most charitable ? A few years before he died

And child molester

Yes he was Elvis Presley is my favorite singer and I know all about him

🙏😭❤️🙏 Elvis 🙏 not only died from the drugs that he took what he died of a broken heart and you love Jesus Christ 💔 but I don't believe the drugs really took them I believe God was ready to take him home 🙏😭❤️

Agree, his testimony was so moving! Im Mostly Mad at These Men for Not protecting Elvis! If they were his Friends and Not Employees...they would have Helped Elvis STOP the Drugs!

Seriously he's seemed like one of the only good pure people around him 😢

I wonder if they took out Elves brain and the hairdresser had to deal with his scalp being stitched back?

@@Rosebud830 there’s no way thru could stop himself from the drugs get a grip

Haha great story of your dad it made me smile knowing he got a kick out of people thinking “is that Elvis??”

That's so awesome 💝🙏

That’s lovely! What a fun and happy memory of your Dad.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️How sweet!!!

is that MR Elvis from San Jose ca area?

He was so true to his fans!

Elvis tried to please everyone....that's why he died trying to be everything to everyone!❤❤

Me too

@@ethelnelson9672 Elvis is alive,he is now with his cousins JFK DJT & J Assange they will be revealing themselves soon.

@@Zandra747 Is that so!? Wow. I tell you what else your really need to stfu..💩🤡

Elvid could be the most generous, genuine celebrity to ever exist. i love the man and was only 2 years old when he died. the new Evlis movie which ive watched about 10 time snow has me jammin all his music. his tales of generosity and giving i enjoy the most. He definitly felt the burden of all the people he supported.

@@whateveritwasitis Yes. I agree.

He had a huge burden of responsability ever sine he was a teenager First for his family then for his musicians and bands. Then for hiis close friends.and extended family and lastly for Col Parker who ran up huge gambling debts

They were users

I've got my own story of Elvis. I never met him, but it has to do with his purple Cadillac in 1975 long before it was put on display at Elvis's car museum in Memphis.

Austin Butler was robbed.

His level of fame and fortune especially during the time period is truly baffling

What I got out of this is the pressure the money men put on talented artists.

What makes you think he’s resting?

Curse and Curse. This story is not a blessing. Dead at 42, from a drug O/D? Michael Jackson? Whitney Houston? These people were cursed. They died prematurely as a result of UNNATURAL causes. These are not blessings. Blessings bring happiness, hope, and peace---not hopelessness, drugs, despair, depression, death. Correct me if you think I am wrong?

@@jamesb.hallmd9899 They were NOT POOR! For sure no one wants a short life but if I never have to worry about where my next meal is coming from, my bills? I know what I would choose. I seriously wish for a life where I LIVE, not survive. Not having to worry about rent money and associated bills, being able to eat the highest quality of food out there, ORGANIC FOODS, having the best type of car to drive, well, that is the stuff that real life is made of.

I saw Elvis perform in Houston, 1977. He gave a great performance but what stunned me was the number of women, with boyfriends in tow, screaming, crying and rushing the stage the entire time. The security was easily the largest I've seen at any venue.

Did you dad hide in the closet in a Superman outfit and watch?

@@anncain2432 70

What a beautiful story

I think the Memphis Mafia did too, though some used him, and of course loved the lifestyle. Even Priscilla said he needed those old friends around him. I do like the hairdresser the best, and he seems sincere. He also wasn't really part of that mafia.

Larry is a phenomenal human! I know him (-,:

@@shaktibarre Wow really? I bet he has some pretty awesome stories ❤❤

100%

Red West loved him. He’s one of the very few that stood up to Elvis for the drugs and got fired for it.

Thank god there is not another Elvis .

Rest in peace Elvis with his parents and Daughter Lisa Marie and Grandson Benjamin, all rejoicing together in God's Heavenly Kingdom Amen, Thank you to his cousin and hairdresser for speaking and sharing their memories with us, God Bless you Guys.

I was exactly Lisa Marie's age in 1977 visiting my relatives in Cape Breton. All the adults were gone out of the house for some reason and it was just me and my brother and we heard it on the radio they left on. It's sort of freaking me out that she is gone though. Because even though I didn't know her I remember her at every stage of her life as I was at the same stage (through the tabloids though as we had a corner store, lol). I remember her high school rebellious years as in the tabloids would discuss it. Lol. And I remember her on the cover of People with her baby in the late 80s when she had her daughter, her music career in the 2000s, etc.

@@agitatedmongoose I I

I was 19 I remember exactly where I was driving in my car the radio announcer kLif in Dallas Texas says Elvis presley is dead August 16th 77 the whole world mourned we wish he would stayed longer 😊

Another Irreplaceable singer would be Freddie Mercury who died in 1991 After Elvis and before Michael Jackson Freddie died from Aids 😢 ALL SHALL BE MISSED TREMENDOUSLY

Everyone is irreplaceable

There will never be another Elvis!!

@@melgrant7404 but not be loved by the whole world. Elvis performed all over the world!!

Michael Jackson was a monster. He should have been threw in a dungeon somewhere

@@karencantrell604 Wrong, Elvis never performed or toured outside of the United States of America, the furthered he went to do a concert was in Hawaii and that's a damn shame as world renowned as he was. If he would have lived he would have been so much bigger,greater, famous and filthy rich in every way not just monetarily!! He was such a kind extremely well mannered man who had the world at his feet. May he rest in peace. He was a King no doubt.

I've wondered the same thing,,4 many many years!! He was taken advantage of right from the beginning!! So sad 😞

@@juanitabrooks1811 Who in the world allowed 50%?? I can't even understand how that was even ok to anyone else in Elvis's life. Surely someone disagreed with it.

My family lived in the same street Dries/Parker lived. Rietmakerstraat, Breda the Netherlands.What I heard he moved to the US because of a crime he commited that also was the reason why Elvis never could perform outside the US. But Im 36 now and Elvis is still popular here.

@@TheSolMike hoe is het

He took 50% so he could drink and gamble. He lied cheated and stole from Elvis. Very sad.

If Austin does win the Oscar for his performance on the Elvis biopic, he'll make not just the fans happy but Priscilla, Jerry Schilling, every member of the Memphis Mafia happy.

I TOTALLY AGREE..& I FEEL THAT AUSTIN IS A REINCARNATION IF ELVIS..RIGHT DOWN TO THE FACT THAT ELVIS DIED ON AUGUST 16TH AND AUSTIN'S BIRTHDAY IS AUGUST 17!! WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THAT??

@@kimberlyschwartz5299 That's really unexpected to find out that Austin Butler was born in August 17th, a day after Elvis Presley died. But yes, I do think he is a reincarnation of Elvis.

You all should get out more.

​@@kimberlyschwartz5299 you're delusional. I've seen two bit Elvis tribute artists that surpass AB. You need to get out more.

JESUS I SO AGREED, BUT IN THOSE DAYS AND YEARS IF YOU HAD MO EY YOU COULD HAVE BOUGHT ANYTHING IM DIE HARD ABOUT THE KING,,, BUUT HE WAS THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL AND IF HE WANTED IT HE WOULD HAVE IT ,

Yeah well they get treated like puppets not people they just want them to perform. He would have been very depressed after his Mother died and Priscilla divorced him look at all the weight he put on too. It's not just pain pills either. Chris Cornell was on anti anxiety meds that had suicidal thoughts as a side effect. Michael Jackson was medicated, Prince. Tom Petty was on meds they don't monitor them properly everyone thinks it's safe because it's prescription and legal but some doctors are still just drug dealers you can't make them actually care about their patients. Look what Lisa Marie has been through lost her Dad MJ and last year her son killed himself he used drugs too it's just part of the culture I guess but so hard for the family.

@@maggisteele4342 He told his crew once that if the doctor won’t give me what I need I will buy the drug store!! So yeah. You got it right!!

@@AnnaLVajda If you are on pain meds or anti depressants you will start putting on weight almost immediately.These meds slow the metabolism and your bowels will not function as they previously did.A person will be plagued with fluid retention and you will get the swollen bloated look as Elvis had in latter life. The terrible facts with pain meds is,you need to keep taking more and more to get the same relief as the body quickly becomes tolerant.This medication is so highly addictive,you will need to take them just to get through the day to function normally.God help you when you try to stop taking them.

@Cory Alaric if you need to hack accounts that girl clearly isn't the right one for you or your just a creep

Oh wow this is wonderful memories! What an honor.

I want to see

Bet your dad screwed all the girls

Well said.

@@skslay57 ditto

If you want to know how great he was listen to priscilla.

@@paulclissold1525 Really?! You think I should listen to a woman who looks like she belongs in a wax museum?! She was FOURTEEN and in NINTH GRADE when she met him, and her and her parents knew who he was when they allowed her to pursue him. I have ZERO interest in Priscilla. She is NOT relevant in my appreciation of Elvis. My question to you is, why are you trolling Elvis documentaries. Looking for reasons to hate him some more?!

@@brasstacks7181 ahh weird so l dont think priscilla needs elvis' fame. There is no one else in this world who knew the man better she was in amongst all his pathetic excesses his fame his grandeur but she is welded on loyal and a believer. The lady has prestige dick.

I think, from where he is, he'll know.

Many people heard about it on their car radios and immediately headed for Memphis--didn't even go home to pack. At least one lady was later charged with child abandonment for leaving her kids alone and unsupervised when she went to be near Elvis in death. I myself was on the way to Las Vegas and heard it about it on the car radio while driving across Hoover Dam. Las Vegas was an interesting place to be that night. On top of everything else, there was a torrential rainstorm with considerable localized flooding, as if the heavens were weeping for the King. Added in edit: On the first anniversary of his death a year later, Memphis was in the middle of a public-service crisis. The police and fire departments were both on strike, and there was dusk-to-dawn curfew enforced by the National Guard. Elvis fans didn't care about that, and thousands of them descended on the city anyway. Many arrived at the bus station without any lodging arrangements, and just took a cab straight to Graceland. Hundreds of people jammed the sidewalks in front of the mansion. With the curfew approaching, Vernon went down to the gate and offered to let the crowds onto the grounds for the night so they wouldn't get arrested--but they had to promise not to approach the house, and to leave first thing in the morning. What more could a true Elvis fan desire than to spend the night on the King's front lawn? One woman from Pennsylvania later wrote a letter/article printed in the Memphis paper, describing it as the most beautiful and serene night of her life. Most folks who lived in Memphis in those days could tell one or two Elvis stories. In my case, I worked at one of the movie theatres he would sometimes rent after hours, and we also had the same Tae Kwon Do instructor, Master Kang Rhee; but we never actually met. 🤠

He didn’t die

@@momoalfat5211 "...he just went home." --Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones), "Men in Black," 1997.

Because she was asleep! I’m sure they had odd hours… I’m sure he went to read in the bathroom many times?! You can’t blame a young girl at that time for not being on the drugs he was on and expect her to tend to his every need…

She was more then likely asleep , everyone who was around Elvis , their sleep schedule was all over the place , it happened to me and I’m sure it happened to you when you sleep late and wake up late

The right sleep aids can knock you out EASILY for a minimum of 6 hours. Elvis had $, so you know he could afford the best drugs.

I ONE million % agree with with! The quote “everything happens for a reason” my rational is his 88th Birthday 1/8 Golden Globes Win 1/10 Lisa Marie passed away 1/12

Looks like it's a foot race between Austin Butler and Brendan Fraser, but my gut feeling is that Austin will get the Oscar, he was terrific As Elvis 1/18/23

He better win he was fantastic ❤️

A friend and I got into a heated discussion over who deserves the Oscar for Best Actor, and the nominations haven’t even come out yet. They’ll be announced on the 24th. I believe the two front runners will be AB & Brendan Fraser (The Whale), especially since AB just won the GG award & BF won the CC award (which also kind of makes me nervous)! 🫣 My friend said it’s not fair for me to want AB to win because I haven’t seen BF in The Whale. I responded that in my opinion AB deserves to win over BF for one very important reason i.e., AB not only played EP, incredibly and spot-on, he’s also singing most of the songs in the movie, which is based on a true story! Sorry, not sorry, but as good as BF ‘s performance may be, the character is fictional and based on a play, and none of the predictions for best actor nominees are in true stories either.

I definitely think he will!!He definitely should!!

SO true!

I'm Elvis Presley

There’s quite a few impersonators but like you said, there will never be another “Elvis” he is and forever will be the King🙏🏻❤️ I’m 24 years old and most people my age make fun of me for having interests in music from that time. I grew up on Elvis, own damn near every vinyl record you can find

@@bryancooper2247 no ,, yu not , you are sick,, only one real one

Elvis presley, marilyn monroe, Micheal Jackson, elizabeth taylor , audrey hepburn, john lennon, marlon brando , charlie chaplin :( 🥺😔

Exactly. Theres nothing anyone could do to stop another from addiction unless that person wants to truly change. The books I read said the memphis mafia members each tried to get him to stop but elvis would just lose his temper at them. And elvis even fired them for that. Now today who will they blame for lisa presleys death? We all now she was on drugs as well and she had all the resources to stop but chose not to. In the end we are responsible for our own lives.

@boxerfan2 yea, I saw her two days before at that awards ceremony. She was clearly not sober. I can tell, obviously high on opiates. Imo. Educated opinion. Did that contribute to her death? It definitely didn't help, and the truth will likely be covered up. Cardiac arrest sound much more dignified than opiate overdose. Just like her father, people can't expect the truth. It's sad, I don't typically care about celebrities, but she always seemed cool. People hopefully tried to help, but you know she was surrounded by yes men. It's tragic, and final.

I feel for her daughters. It's a tragic loss for them esp Riley who lost her brother and the 14 year old twins 💔

Yes! agreed, i just commented something similar, i have 7 years clean, an sadly nobody can get you better, an with a unlimited amount of money, doctors at your backing call, it would be near impossible to get straight an stay that way, i know it happens, js

​@@brandy_lish congratulations on your 7 years! Stay with it.

I'm 67 also and still have all his albums. I lived in a very small town in Indiana but luckily they had a small theater. My cousin and I went to all of Elvis's movies there. That is such a great memory. He will always be The King. I will love and miss him always.

I'll be 67 in a couple of days and my big brother and I used to rock out to Hound Dog. We went nuts over 🤪 that.

Actually, the religious right hated him and unsuccessfully tried to ruin him.

I was mesmerized by Elvis as a kid 10 years old, but later I found out he wasn't cool with everyone...if you look up what he said on the Ed Sullivan show..."The only thing a black man can do for me is...."walk my dog and shine my shoes".

@@Dvco33333 He had 3 black women in his band , the sweet inspirations.

@@mr.majestic2667 He learned how to excel at singing and playing guitar hanging around the great Muddy Waters, Chubby Checker, Chuck Barry, and others...but he was still a Mississippi racist.

@@Dvco33333 So what you are saying is he was a phony who pretended to embrace black culture for his own gain , you are the worst .Go sell that to Q-anon .

He loved it.

Yes Elvis loved to sing especially Gospel, but he was controlled and dictated to by his manager

@@56cadd - He did NOT love being sick & exhausted, on the verge of death.

Sandra - When you say he was used by "those" over him, it sounds like more than 1 person. The only person I ever heard worked him to death was cold-blooded Parker.

@@AJ-yw7hf he loved it so much he got Roscoe Scott Holloway to take his place.

You didn't mention that Brian Epstein was very close friends with Tom Parker and greatly admired him. Epstein was also more of a gambling addict then Parker ever was and a drug addict as well, dying from an overdose at 32. John Lennon and George Harrison stated they got all of their LSD from Epstein. He may have had more business savvy than Parker, but he was no saint.

yes very true if elvis came to the uk to do is singing carreer and had brian epstein as is manager he would still been a live and he wouldnt of had thos bloody leeches called body guards

I agree. He took 50 percent of elvis earnings. That's unheard of for a manager. It pisses me off to think about it.

@@britisheagle9776 Those so called "leaches" made $35 a week. They weren't the problem. Those guys were good for him. You don't know what you're talking about. Parker and Elvis himself were the problem.

Elvis is absent from his body but present with the lord that's what is important now

Those are some treasures to be sure. Just watching this documentary now. It’s well done. I was a child when he passed, but I loved his music. Played his albums on the old record player. We must be old. Peace to you. 🙏🏼💙 🎸 🎶

Just curious, do you remember the day in August ‘77 when we heard the news?

he died in 1977

You told me..and i smell Bullshit.

im sorry WHAT you sound like a 10 year old in your 3 videos on your channel and non the less it is impossible for you to be alive back then. not to mention this post is from 2 years ago and you said it happened today as in 2 years ago when you posted this. also how is your post edited. im so confused. unless you were alive in 1977 and those videos are of your child or grandchild this is just sad.

No. I was on the show buisness.

Maybe colonel has some of the guilt of Elvis death bit not nearly as much as people gave him credit, Memphis mafia guys were guilty as fuck

You are 100% right, Darcy, Parker was the most selfish man I have ever encountered. He was on the run from Belgium or some Dutch country and hiding from authorities, they wanted him on suspicion of murder.

@@BobbyTucker His name wasn't even Tom or Parker for that matter, much less being a Colonel. His real name was Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk, and a fraud from the start!

Absolutely yes

That is so cute. I bet he would have loved knowing that, as a little girl, you pretended he was your husband.

53:47 ❤😢

I was in high school when Elvis hit the airways. We all just went bananas over him. My boyfriend Glenn, at that time looked like Elvis, sang and played his guitar like Elvis and put on a show for all us like Elvis did. We would go to a Drive Inn restaurant in Missoula, where we were from and he’d set on the hood of his 1955 Chevy and start playing and singing then jump off the car and start his dance . Oh! I can still see him and hear him. I had a curfew ,had to be home at 11:00pm. And he’d say I have to get my girl home. Glenn was drafted into the Air Force and was stationed at Amarillo AFB, Texas. We lost track of each other and I married in 1958. After Elvis died I got to go to Graceland. A trip I’ll never forget as long as I live. His ‘55 Pink Cad. convertible is in a show case in the MGM Casino in Las Vegas,Nevada. I had the pleasure of seeing it. I never ever got to see him in person as when his show was in Reno because all tickets were sold out months before he appeared. When his show was taken to Hawaii tickets were sold out months before for. He was the IDEAL of my life to this day. (he was only five years older than me). My he rest in peace. ❤

Thank fuck for that .

It seems to me that 1 thing drove him to his early death: Parker.

Somewhat, the drugs and womanizing cost him his marriage which contributed to his depression which is probably what did him in. Only 42 my age it's been 44 years now he's been dead longer than he was alive.

@@AnnaLVajda He will live forever in the hearts of his fans worldwide.

@@AnnaLVajda you need to consider the stress of folks depending on him caused the depression which in turn caused the drug use. I obstained a LOT more from altering my mind when none depended on me.

Other folks needs + others careers = depression +drug use Very scary place actually. Don't blame the drugs first it's a symptom of the root cause. Kinda shy you see suicide rates increase in males with age when it seems to be the opposite in the demographic on the other side. Men are just wired different

Superstars tend to surround themselves with people who love them to death instead of people who love them to life!

@@AnnaLVajda I’m yum

Thank you❤

No. It took whatever they got paid for their time to interview to say what they wanted to say. If they wanted to save Elvis they could have. That’s what real friends do.

I was 5 and I remember my aunt crying. I believe theses guys stories about him because you can hear the love and concern for Elvis.

My husband said he was 7 also and living in Chicago and remembers that day as well.

@@jemsar2 I know! What is wrong with 172 people? A bunch of blood sucking losers still trying to get their 15 minutes of fame. They used that poor man up so they could live off of him.

It is not his fault entirely these Memphis mafia guys are guilty as fuck.

What do you mean "Allowed to destroy him?" Drugs, excessive spending, and philandering was the cause of Elvis' downfall. He even stated once that he always did exactly what he wanted to do. Why should Parker be in prison? What laws did he break? And, BTW, his estate at his death in 1997 was valued at close to six million.

@@fcbarlow1995 Well let's see what laws the so called "Colonel Tom Parker" broke and why he should of been in prison. For one his name was a fraud, his name wasn't Tom Parker, much less a Colonel for that matter. His real name was Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk, a citizen born in the Netherlands. He entered America illegally seeing there were questions of a murder in the Netherlands, where Parker was a suspect. He enlisted in the United States Army, taking the name "Tom Parker" from the same name of a real officer who interviewed him, to disguise the fact he was an illegal immigrant. While enlisted in the US Army he went AWOL and was charged with desertion, then being discharged on a mental condition. After that during the Great Depression struggling to get by he became a con man as he always was. So, all in all as to his law breaking we have him being an (illegal US citizen) (fraudulent name) (suspect to murder) (desertion of the US Army) (con man), etc... Does this suffice you to why the fraud Parker should of been in prison?

He is dead and burning in hell.

@@MicheleMJJ no he's not, he's laughing his ass off.

I mean how could they? He had all the money he had all the power, and just did what the colonel told him to do. Pricilla herself even tried to get him into rehab even after they were divorced. He just wanted to preform even beyond his health limits. It seemed very hard for anyone to help him at that point

You can’t help someone that doesn’t want the help! They tried with placebo pills…. But imagine the last time he was on the piano if someone had said ,”Elvis, play one more song! A song that means everything you’ve accomplished!”

@@dustinsanchezmusic5851 true

l was just 15 years old hen

So sorry you had tickets but never got to see him. What a shock that must have been. He was on my wish list to see a live performance, but I never did. I went to Graceland though, and the emotions took my breath away. I was standing where Elvis had once stood.

Agreed

People who have addiction issues are not the easiest people to deal with. You can only get help if you want to get help no one can do it for you.

@@cherylb5680 you are so rigjt. It's really tough.

Maybe they did say something.. truth is, how many really listen to others when they give unsolicited advice..

No. They were told to get him on stage and they did that by any means. They were all rotten to the core and needed to get paid.

I hope laws pass where 1. Agents are forbidden by law to take more the the market assessed maximum. 20% or less. 2. No manager has rights ad infinitum. If fired for any and every cause an artist can walk away from decision they believe entrap them with emotional, mental, creative and spiritual harms being life threatening or excessive exhaustion. 3. Any agent manager friend or family not as a power of medical attorney will be guilty of abuse using drugs injections or intoxicated to get a performer onstage vs hospitalization. 4. A mediator can be called with medical power to remove an actor from a harmful situation and formally adjudicate detox, rehab and restorative measure to overworked members of all entertainment unions. Actors, singers, musicians to show set and instrument truck drivers.

I thought the film was good but i wonder why they chose an accent for col parker lol

I saw the movie last night and I wondered what was up with that strong accent. Did the accent lessen over the decades to be non-detectable? I suppose the intent was to emphasize the fact that the man was from Holland, not West Virginia. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes,he loved the lord,but he also loved getting head!

@@benhume2874 laws are nothing like they were. The artists these days have the majority of control which is the way it should be. It’s so sad to me that Elvis could’ve done it had anything and he didn’t need Parker. It’s sad that he didn’t even know that. I grew up in Memphis and I loved Elvis!!! LOVE! ❤️❤️❤️

He never took pills don't you believe those lies

Can you expand on that? What are you talking about?

His mother died before him. Your absolutely wrong

@@ellenkessler4562 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 She's talking about her spirit. Her spirit came to get him when he died.

I believe that to be true. I have been a nurse for 17-years. I was at the bedside of a dying patient. I was holding his hand. He let go of my hand and reached out as if he was taking someone’s hand. His arm then dropped and he was gone. The nurses who had worked prior shifts said he kept asking his dad to come inside his room. His dad had been dead for 20-years. It was one of the most intriguing thing I have ever seen.

Please explain further. As I was always thinking that she did but dismissed the thought.

She's a conniving skank

I don’t believe her I feel like she killed him 😳😳😳

The “Colonel” and the doctor killed him just like Michael Jackson’s doctor did. There are way too many conflicting stories about what happened in the end.

@@detroitgator1 come on. He saved his 3 attack packets and took them all at once on his last day on earth. He had enough with everything. He couldn't do it anymore. Joe Esposito found suicide note but kept it secret

@@detroitgator1 Elvis’ friend and road manager, Joe Esposito, told Radar, shortly before his own death last year, he discovered one note next to the legend’s lifeless 300-pound body on the day he died at his Memphis home, Graceland.  Joe told Radar he burned the letter to hide the explosive contents from Elvis’ family and investigato also removed addicted Elvis’ stash of prescription painkillers. “It was better to protect his family and his legacy by hiding everything - the note and his pills,” Joe said, adding that in the letter, Elvis confessed, “losing Priscilla was the greatest mistake of his life - and he couldn’t recover from the heartache.” Joe noted Elvis also wrote that he was “embarrassed I can’t kick drugs” and felt “betrayed” by his overweight body. Since Joe broke his silence, a second letter has now surfaced! That note, written in January 1977 - seven months before Elvis was found slumped in his bathroom - paints a clear picture of a man at the end of his rope. “I need a long rest,” the legendary singer scribbled. “I’m sick and tired of my life.”

Exactly, Elvis was his meal ticket.
