Linda Thompson, who dated Elvis Presley in the 1970s, recently shared insights into their relationship, revealing the struggles behind his legendary persona. Despite his fame with hits like Jailhouse Rock,<\/em> Elvis battled health issues and medication dependence that deeply affected those close to him.<\/p>\n

Linda, a Memphis native and Miss Tennessee 1972, met Elvis after his divorce from Priscilla Presley. Their connection led her to move into Graceland, where she described their bond as multifaceted: \u201clovers, siblings, and best friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though deeply in love, Linda witnessed the toll of Elvis\u2019s declining health, often staying up to monitor him. She stood by him during iconic moments, like the Aloha from Hawaii<\/em> concert, but left in 1975 to prioritize her own well-being, though they remained in touch until his death in 1977.<\/p>\n

Today, Linda honors Elvis\u2019s legacy through memories and rare recordings, offering a poignant glimpse into the man behind the music.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
