between them was instant and could have easily lit up the unplugged Vegas strip on a Saturday night for several hours it was a high voltage love affair nonetheless Elvis had previously given his word to Captain Paul bullu Priscilla's father that he would marry her there were also Whispers that he felt a bit envious of the attention and Margaret was receiving in her own career Elvis had a reputation for holding traditional views about gender roles in marriage despite his own unconventional Lifestyle the king tied the knot with Priscilla just a week before an Margaret married Roger

times especially his struggles with substance abuse and health issues Elvis's friends truly admired Linda for how well she took care of him some even believe that if she had been with him on that fateful night at Graceland things might have turned out differently it's a love story with a bit of a Bittersweet twist as Linda eventually left Elvis in 197 six due to his increasingly self-destructive Behavior they remained friends until Elvis passing just 8 months after their breakup it's a testament to the enduring Bond they shed despite being a decade younger than Presley

nicknames and secret codes she even formed a close bond with his young daughter Lisa Marie and took up Residence at grund as his partner and caregiver as his struggles with substance abused and health began to take a toll West in his Memoir emphasized the deep love and respect that Presley's closest friends held for Thompson due to her exceptional care of the King West stated during my shows people often asked me whether Elvis would be alive today if l had been with him that night at graand I tell them that I can't say for certain that he would be alive today but I do tell them if Linda Thompson
