    Elvis: guns, drugs and 8,000 calorie sandwiches (part 2)

    It’s 1960 and Elvis is a superstar sex symbol. Women want him, men want to be him. He’s a national icon. But in the space of 16 years, Elvis will become a washed up laughing stock, stage the greatest comeback of all time, and come crashing back to earth, ending up dead on the toilet at 42.
