The Last Days of Elvis Presley

HE CHANGED MUSIC FOREVER. HE BECAME THE KING. HOW DID IT ALL END?

From a poor boy in Tupelo to the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley changed music - and popular culture - forever. His voice, his looks and his electrifying performances made him the biggest star on the planet.

But behind the records, movies, screaming crowds, Las Vegas and Graceland was a man under extraordinary pressure. Fame, troubled relationships, ill health and dependency increasingly took their toll.

Then, on 16 August 1977, Elvis was found unresponsive at Graceland. He was just forty-two. His death stunned the world - and the questions and mythology surrounding his final days have endured ever since.

Drawn from rigorous research and told in vivid, dramatic scenes, James Patterson and Imogen Edwards-Jones reveal the triumph, tragedy and final days of the man the world knew simply as the King.
