ELVIS PRESLEY DIES OF APPARENT HEART ATTACK!
THE KING OF ROCK ‘N’ ROLL IS DEAD
The Commercial Appeal
Memphis, Tennessee
August 17, 1977
A bold two-line front page banner headline announces the startling news about Elvis Presley: “DEATH CAPTURES CROWN OF ROCK AND ROLL–ELVIS DIES APPARENTLY AFTER HEART ATTACK.” Includes great photos of Elvis, and the hearse taking his body from the Baptist Hospital. In disbelief, another headline asks: ‘ARE YOU SURE THERE’S NO MISTAKE? — THE DESIRED ANSWER NEVER CAME.” Much of the front page consists of his incredible career and life.
This is the complete newspaper from the city in which he died. Very nice condition.
