IMO,
Much like he looked in 1977.
Elvis had the un-canny ability to trim down when he needed to.

Unfortunately though he would have probably remained bloated due to the prescription drugs and look like he did in his last concert when he wore the sunburst suit.

I firmly believe that the doctor that gave him was so stupid. That he gave him medicine that he couldn't control. So he took more medicne than he needed. fordguy101

Elvis lived a strange life after Priscilla left.
I firmly believe his lack of being in the sunlight helped with his demise.
The guy did shows starting at 2:00 am and he slept during the day.
That is unhealthy to start with.

The Greek doctor was just doing as he was told by a superstar with lost of money and influence.

I am not much of an elvis fan, and I sure dont wanna start a whole ton of stuff, but I think he had fame and fortune that hit him hard, and he not anyone else, cause himself to end up the way he did Just an opinion though!

Can't deny the man's popularity can you? Even in death....people flock to his home at Graceland. I grew up in Memphis and my dear departed mom met him while he attended Humes High school. It seems that Elvis came to my cousin's house a lot and shared dinner with them before he became famous and she would be there visiting my great-aunt when he would come home from school with my oldest cousin.

The man had a hard life being what it was and there are lots of other muscians and singers that have done the things he did. But I will say this.....the man had a great voice. No one can deny that.

There has never been or will ever be another voice like that...All "artist" these days have a couple songs and you never hear from them again except on "where are they now" shows. As stated, Elvis is just as popular today as 30 years ago. How many people make more money after they die? One, The King........Why is it that nobody remakes Elvis songs? Cause there is no way in hell they could make it better. Although he did many remakes and made the songs his own so much people can't even remember the original artist. Yea he had a short life but lived enough in that time to fill 10 lifetimes. Oh yea, he's working at a gas station in Arizonia if you wanna see what he looks like...lol
