Elvis: What Happened?

A devoted son. A generous friend. A model Army recruit. A gifted entertainer. A beloved hero to millions.

This is the Elvis Presley the world knows—and cherishes.

Brooding. Violent. Obsessed with death. Strung out. Sexually driven.

This is the other side of Elvis—according to the three men who lived with him through it all—a man who...

• Charms a beautiful young fan into joining him—on a drug binge for two that nearly kills her...

• Takes a group of friends on a 3 A.M. visit to a mortuary to look at corpses and talk about embalming...

• Hurls a pool cue at a party guest who interrupts his game, injuring her breast...

• Talks with his bodyguard about a "hit" on the man he felt stole his wife...

• Has for years leaned heavily on uppers, downers.

Steve Dunleavy has woven together the experiences of three Presley bodyguards who were there partying with him, womanizing with him, worrying with him—tasting the pleasure and the pains of life with the most fabulous star in showbiz history!
