Elvis Presley is a name that you can say in any household in almost any part of the world, and people know exactly who you are talking about. However, the reality of the King of Rock’s life is far from desirable.
The King of Rock, like many other famous musicians, had to battle demons that no one else could understand. This led to some very dark times in his life. His wife, Priscilla, was there to see all the ups and downs.
Bearing witness to someone’s darkest moments could not have been easy, and Priscilla has spoken out several times about what it was like to live with Elvis as well as his death.

US ARMY
During the 1950s, it was expected that celebrities would be enlisted in the US Army. In 1958 Elvis became one of these celebrities. In 1960, he was discharged from active duty.
He was taught how to survive in the army and was given drugs to help him. The soldiers were prescribed pills to keep them awake and to help them sleep.

LAST NOTE

But those who knew the star well believe that this is not true. Priscilla believes Elvis knew what he was doing when he took his pills. She also revealed that Elvis was suffering from depression at the time.
