Ich finde es grotesk, wenn Kathy von Elvis als todkrank berichtet. Sorry, aber das scheinen einfach Versuche zu sein, sein Angedenken "sauber" zu halten. Dabei würde es aus meiner Sicht nicht beschmutzt, wenn diese Krankheit einfach "Drogensucht" hieße. Er war eine Art "Junkie", 100%, aber das ist eine Diskusion, die wir hier schon 100 Mal hatten und jeder in diesem Board kennt meine Meinung dazu.

Dear Kathy,
You say Elvis died because he had cancer, not a drug problem. Why does Cilla say Elvis had such a drug problem? She clearly states he died due to drug abuse. She makes him out to be a monster to us in her story ELVIS AND ME.
Didn't he start taking drugs in the army before he was even sick with anything? That makes it kind of hard to believe that he died of cancer. Some of the drugs they said he was taking will also cause you to bloat if you take a lot of it, but I hope you are telling us the truth, because we love him and always will. I am 32-years-old.
I have a 6-year-old that loves his music and his movies. I think you have a wonderful voice and are a great talent, and very lucky to have had the chance to do something that younger people will never have a chance to do. Be present at the best concert in the world, an Elvis concert.

Hi DJ,
No, I did not say he Died of cancer, I just said that he HAD it. It is NOT what killed him, though contributed to his feeling ill, as one might imagine.
He did abuse his prescriptions, as has been reported, but he had so many serious health problems that those medications were necessary for extending his life. Keep in mind that in those days there were no Betty Ford Clinics, and NONE OF US had any idea that prescription meds could be so dangerous, either.
Hard to believe, and we are tempted to put everything into the world of today's concepts. The thing that has confused so many is that he didn't reveal he was born with a genetic heart condition, as he didn't want the whole world to know he was on the same schedule for dying as his mom, her entire family, etc. His heart was twice the size on one side as it was on the other, he was just born a dying man.
I know it seems strange to the world that a man's ex-wife wouldn't know what diseases he suffered from, but that is just the way it was. All that those who report he died of a drug overdose know is what they heard second-hand from men who worked with Elvis, who had the impression that it was drugs and drugs alone, not knowing that he suffered from serious illnesses.
I have listed those before on previous pages. And... you are correct in that the first time Elvis ever took and amphetamine it was handed to him by the U.S. military, to stay awake in the cold snow while on maneuvers in Germany.

Hier stellt sie es ja wieder etwas gerade. Nicht die Drogen alleine. Mag sein. Doppelt so grßes Herz, ist wohl übertrieben, die Opduktion ergab, dass er ein leicht vergrößertes Herz hatte. Ich will aber auch nicht auf die konkrete Todesursache hinaus. Am Ende war er fertig. Weil er sich nicht geschont hat. Weil er harte Medikamente seit über 20 Jahren missbraucht hatte, um so zu funktionieren, wie er es tat.
Mich interesiert, warum er sich hat regelrecht "fallenlassen" sein Ende, sein Zustand in den letzten drei Jahren, dieses unsägliche Ende, warum?
