Elvis (here during a concert in Champaign, Ill, on Oct 22, 1976) after a session at Graceland confided to his producer: "I'm tired...". So he was told: "Of course you're tired...you need some rest now". Elvis replyed: "No, I mean, I'm just tired of being Elvis Presley". But The great King kept singing, concert after concert, till the final bow.

June 1, 1977 - Before a concert in Macon, Georgia - This summer 1977 tour will be his last.

 

One of the last pictures of Elvis. The photo was taken during the June 1977 tour. Elvis was tired and ill and a few weeks after this concert he died for an heart-attack in his Graceland Mansion in Memphis. That same day, August 16, Elvis had to begin a new concert tour, Starting in Portland, Maine and finishing in his hometown, Memphis. During his young age Elvis was known for his excellent body and for his beautiful appearance. Now the situation was very different, the day he died Elvis' weight was about 260 pounds.

Going Home...

The last song Elvis played was "Unchained Melody" on his piano at the racquetball court near Graceland, just a  few hours before collapsing down in his dressingroom/bathroom

Elvis once said: I want to entertain people, that's my whole life -to my last breath

And that's what he did, to his last breath...

There are many speculations about the cause of his death, some say abuse of prescribed medications ( he took over 8,000 pills from January 1977 to his death )
but the reality is that Elvis is still alive, at least in my heart, and at least everytime
that someone listen to his music and to his powerful voice.
