@fasc1nate I remember watching these with my grandmother....
@fasc1nate No, it wasn’t. There was no camera in his toilet to record his final performance 🤷🏻♂️
@fasc1nate Extraordinary. And tragic. A true artist consumed by his own fire.
He was born on January 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi. Elvis's unique blend of rock, country, and gospel music helped him rise to fame in the 1950s. He became known for his energetic performances, charismatic stage presence, and signature dance moves, like his famous hip-shaking. Elvis starred in numerous films and recorded countless hit songs, earning him a place in music history. Sadly, he passed away on August 16, 1977, but his music continues to inspire and entertain people around the world.
Elvis Presley's final performance in Indianapolis was part of his tour in 1977. Despite his declining health and struggles with substance abuse, he continued to perform. The concert at the Market Square Arena drew a large crowd, but reports indicate that Presley's performance was below his usual standards. He appeared lethargic and struggled with his vocals, which raised concerns among fans and critics about his well-being. Tragically, less than two months later, Elvis Presley passed away at the age of 42. His final performance remains a poignant moment in music history, marking the end of an era for one of the most iconic figures in rock and roll.

@fasc1nate In the 1950s Elvis Presley’s manager sold “I Hate Elvis” badges as a way to make money from people who weren’t buying Elvis merchandise.
