Elvis Tried To Hide His Problems
During the last years of his career – and his life – Elvis tried to keep his issues more private than ever, afraid that people would think less of him if they found out. But despite his efforts to conceal it, his physical deterioration was evident to everyone.
A combination of excessive weight gain and abuse of prescription pills had turned him into a shadow of his former glory, yet Elvis tragically refused to ask for help. His fans were everything to him, and he was terrified they would stop loving him if he ever admitted the truth about his lifestyle.
