The Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll legend was found unconscious at his home in Memphis. Despite attempts by his manager and later medical professionals to revive him, all efforts failed. At 3 PM, doctors officially pronounced him dead.<\/p>\n
Elvis\u2019s death marks the premature end of one of the two most spectacular careers in American entertainment history, the other being Frank Sinatra\u2019s. Even after becoming an institution in the industry, Elvis continued to dominate the music scene. Just four years ago, he mesmerized audiences with his iconic voice and style in a special NBC television appearance.<\/p>\n
A major turning point in Elvis\u2019s career came in 1958 when he was drafted into the military. Despite the option to join the special services unit and avoid strenuous duties, he chose to undergo rigorous training like any other soldier, serving as a tank operator. Even while stationed in Germany, his fame remained undiminished, with his records still selling in the millions.<\/p>\n
