It has almost been 30 years since Elvis died and the other day there was a "pilgrimage" to Colingwood. His movies are on TV, people talk about him and so on...The other day they put together a hologram to personify his image on American Idol...
Why is it? And also, did he actually die from an overdose?

He died on the toilet from what is called a VASO VAGAL SYNCOPY. Which means his heart gave out under tremendous strain. Not very dignified for a King, poor soul. Most likely due to all the barbiturate Tom Parker had prescribed for him to keep the Elvis show on the road. Sad for a guy of 42.

He did die from an overdose. He had been addicted to prescription drugs for years. I was never a fan, but have to admit that he was one of the biggest influences in rock and roll history. He had a world wide fan base, and people have just never forgotten him. I understand that his estate has made more money since he died than when he was alive.

He's a cultural icon. I sell stuff on eBay and every item i send out includes a print out of Elvis in one of his signature poses with the caption, "Than' you! Than' you very much!" It's just something that everyone can identify with....and I don't even listen to his music! lol
And, yes, I do believe that he died from an overdose.

Because he's an american icon. He was talented and good looking and a little rebelious. Alot of what he did back then may seem tame now but back in the 1950's a swivel of the hips made him public enemy #1.

Haven't you heard that Elvis is still alive and living in the UK? Millions around the world refuse to let his image etc. disappear. He'll always be around.

He's a man who set the the music standards. For 20 years all we heard was elvis until his 16 Aug 77 death. Then we heard about him for another 30 years. Which brings us to today. Note:...Yes he died from an over does. Thanks to his doctor.
