The King Of Rock ‘N’ Roll Fought To Stay Young
In his later years, the king of rock ‘n’ roll battled with weight problems and pharmaceutical drugs in an effort to stay beautiful. Among the downsides of fame is the tremendous pressure entertainers have to deal with when it comes to retaining their youthfulness when they get older – and it’s certainly not easy. To lose weight, Elvis allegedly even voluntarily had himself sedated for two weeks. During this period, the music icon reportedly just left his bed to use the restroom, bathe and eat a small amount of food.

Elvis Presley Could Barely Eat At Some Point
According to David Stanley, his step brother, Elvis Presley eventually got to the point where he could barely eat. It was truly a sensitive period for the King, but he did it to the best of his ability. In the rock icon’s later years, he often fell asleep in the middle of a meal, and Stanley had to help him eat. However, even during hardships, Elvis Presley didn’t forgo the star-induced antics that he was so well-known for.
