AUG 13th 1977
Elvis had already made the decision to kill himself. his mother Gladys died on August 14th at the age of 42, and elvis had disavowed christianity, at this point having become a numerologist.
he saw tomorrow (Aug 14th) as a ''portal to his mother' as he was also 42 years old.
He had been slowly killing himself with each passing day for twenty years ever since his mother died, and now he was in failing health, unlikely to survive another year anyway.
Colonel tom had forced him into another obligated tour to pay off his manager's gambling debts, and elvis was becoming physically sick , just thinking about the upcoming tour.
There was only one way out.
so..... on this day in 1977
Elvis stopped taking the narcotics in the 3 is small manila envelopes he was given each day... the bodyguards gave him the envelopes, but elvis wasn't taking the pills. he decided to save them up, and take them all at once, for "his greatest is stage exit ever"....
