It’s been 45 years to the day since The King of Rock and Roll was found unconscious on the bathroom floor of his Graceland mansion in Tennessee. Elvis was rushed to hospital at the time and later pronounced dead. He was just 42 years old.
The cause of death was determined to be cardiac arrest brought about by his diet coupled with his abuse of prescription drugs.
Elvis Presley sold more than 500 million records in his lifetime and is widely regarded as one of the most iconic musicians of all time. However, he was not exactly popular with everyone when he burst onto the scene with his debut song, ‘That’s Alright’ in 1954.
