Elvis - The Last 24 Hours

Elvis was the greatest entertainer of all time but hey he was no angel ! He slept with many women during his marriage to Priscilla, rarely saw much of Lisa Marie, had an awful diet and was heavily addicted to prescribed medicine. That all said, for the last 23 years of his life, he was ELVIS PRESLEY, he didnt have a normal life, he was worked to death, found it difficult to stand up for himself etc etc. I personally don't have a lot of time for the Memphis Mafia and in particular, the 3 guys who wrote the book Elvis What Happened, that was unforgivable. Elvis had looked after those guys for years and years, they were all given lavish lifestyles and to repay Elvis back like that was awful. So what if they got sacked ? They spent too much time assaulting fans and giving Elvis legal headaches all the time. Well rid off. Anf finally, what ever anyone says of Colonel Parker, he at least was the one guy who kept his mouth shout when he could have sold his story for millions of dollars.

There already is a video interview of the Memphis Mafia sitting around discussing how horrible Elvis was in the end...why patronize these sleazeballs who could have prevented his death and for the most part, caused it, especially by having the "Elvis, What Happened?" book published. Remember how Lisa said, "I hope they burn in hell..."

Well said, SJC. I think you've struck the proverbial nail right on the head. When all is said and done, and as much as we'd all prefer a different and happier ending, Elvis did indeed do it "his way."

I'm absolutely with you, TCBn!

im with tcbn and tlc bet, dont patronize this cheese heads they could have help elvis if they want it too, i dont understand how that was imposible for them, is ridiculous and with lisa marie on her coment!

How can they discuss what they weren't there to see? Only Billy was around Elvis in the last 24 hours. Are these guys ever going to get real jobs and stop living off of Elvis!

Oh grow up, the mafia tell it as it was.There is nobody to blame but Elvis himself.There are numerous stories of all sorts of people trying to help him during the last 2 years of his life and on each occasion he rejected it.

Lets face it most of the Memphis Mafia at some stage took drugs and Elvis, as usuall,did to excess. He did things to excess in all things in life. He didn't buy one Cadillac he bought ten! It's the same with the pills, he probably took 6 instead of 2. But, at the end of the day, who could say "NO!" to Elvis Presley? They didn't force the pills down his throat HE did! I honestly believe the pills were Elvis' way of escaping his pressures of being Elvis the Superstar, and he thought he could handle it, tragically he was wrong. It makes me sad because despite his huge talent he was a great human being.
