This is a sad but eye-opening documentary about Elvis. He was battling addiction to prescription drugs and food. With the arrival of The Beatles, Elvis worried that he was falling out of favor. He actually wore a girdle at times in concert to hide his fat gut. The documentary said he was trying to hold onto his iconic teenager image, but he was aging. Elvis dyed his hair black to hide the grey, and underwent facial cosmetic surgery in the 1970's, trying to maintain his youthful image. He feared getting old and losing his status as a rock star sex symbol, often battling depression.

Elvis had money, fame and pleasures untold, yet he was miserable and ultimately killed himself with drugs. An autopsy found at least 10 different prescription drugs in his system.
