    About this ebook

    The truth about Elvis’s death from the doctor who spent eleven years as “the King’s” personal physician, father-figure, and confidant - "Dr. Nick."

    Dr. Nichopoulos spent a decade with Elvis on the road and at Graceland, trying to maintain the precarious health of one of the world’s greatest entertainers. But on August 16, 1977, he found himself in the ambulance with Elvis on that fateful last trip to the ER. He signed the death certificate.

    From that day forward, Dr. Nick became the focus of a media witch hunt that threatened his life and all but destroyed his professional reputation. Now, for the first time, Dr. Nick reveals the true story behind Elvis’s drug use and final days—not the version formed by years of tabloid journalism and gross speculation. Put aside what you’ve learned about Elvis’s final days and get ready to understand for the first time the inner workings of “the king of rock n’ roll.”

      Huge Elvis fan here, so like the rest I wanted a clear understanding of how he died. Who better to tell us the story than his family doctor. There was some controversy when Elvis died, surrounding Dr. Nick (as they called him), though he was found to be uninvolved in Elvis's death.I thought this was a great translation of events. I believe Dr. Nick had no control over everything Elvis did. Who could control someone like him?This book really challenged everything I thought I knew. When you hear the perspective from one of the closest people to him at that time, it's hard not to listen.A really great book, for anyone who's curious. Definitely one for the Elvis fans out there!!! I recommend to those interested in the topic. I don't feel it will be for everyone.
