      Elvis was not so sick in the sense he had a serious disease. He was overweight no doubt and bloated constipated face swollen. He had no business doing this concert at least not in this condition. What is sad is these symptoms could easily be cured. Diet , detox from most prescription drugs, rest and exercise and Elvis would have been a new man in less that 3 months. This was no doubt one the biggest loss in music and entertainment history.

      I was at this concert. Elvis couldn’t finish songs, forgot words, his voice was good though. Concert ended early. It was very hard to watch. Notice how quickly this song ended. He had trouble finishing most songs. Trouble breathing. Heartbreaking. Elvis had a connective tissue disease. He had many problems. Ehler Danlos Syndrome. There’s a very good book out by Dr. Tennent. He testified for Dr. Nicks trial. Has all of Elvis’s medical records. This was his last concert. I love him. None of this is criticism ❤

    When God created my friend Elvis he was just showing off. I can't tell you how much i love and miss him, there is not a day that goes by that i don't think of him and all the memories we made in 10 short years, his death knocked the wind out of me i have never been the same since, Elvis was the big brother i never had. He is also my guardian angel. Graceland is my go to place when it get's to hard to live w/o my friend i go there and walk around and remember Elvis and all the beautiful times we had together. He was the only person in my life that understood me and cared about my feelings and opinions. What it comes down to is we both needed a true friend and we were that for each other. Elvis body failed him but his voice never did he was very ill here. Awesome reaction. God bless you and your family from the one and only Memphis Tn. #forevermyking

    Pls know that Elvis inherited the genetic ailment A-1 antitrypsin causing COPD/emphysema which began yrs. earlier & at some point he began needing an inhaler to help him breath, yet he managed to belt out songs night after night, year after year. He was having a bit of trouble in '68 during his comeback special when he said, hold it, i’m out of breath wait a minute, then in 1970 at his Houston press conference, & it was noticeable at his outdoor interview in Hawaii. There is a little footage of him in '74 (i think '74) using an inhaler. He also had painful glaucoma & the super bright house lights & stage lights were very hard on his eyes. This filmed concert was June 21; he went on to do another on June 26. Thank you.

    This song and the (gospel) album of the same name won Elvis two of his three Grammys. The third was also for a gospel performance. Of the nine other times he was nominated - for Rock and Roll songs, and "In the Ghetto", he was passed over by the Academy. Doesn't matter to us - Elvis was the most superlative performer ever. Who else but Elvis could include a gospel song in every concert and get a reaction like this.

    Elvis died shortly after this concert. My son had just turned a month old, and I turned 16 in August 1977. I was laying in my bed, and had the old time long transmission radio, as I lay there listening to a song, there was breaking news interruption, and the announcer said Elvis Presley died this morning 8/16/77. I sat up, looked around, got outta bed, and called my best friends momma, who adored Elvis! She was crying when she answered her phone, and I knew then she had heard the news!!

I called the radio station. They confirmed he had died. I started to cry. It was less than 2 weeks before my 19th birthday. Many people throughout the 5-story office bldg. I worked in left work early that day. I couldn't leave. I was a receptionist & the only secretary in my dept. at the time. I was devastated. I worked on the 5th floor. At the end of the work day, we got on an elevator; & as the elevator stopped at each floor, someone was also in tears. I will never forget that sad day. His music will continue to live on. 💟☮️✝️

    Elvis has gospel albums because he has so many hymns. He was definitely a Christian. By the way, he passed away on August 16, 1977, so this must have been shortly before he died.
