Ginger Alden new memoir Elvis & Ginger reveals new details about the life and death of the King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley. Alden said that Elvis was not fat in 1977, but he did appear bloated in front of the cameras. In the new book, Alden also explained that Presley died in the same bathroom that he proposed to her.
Ginger Alden has a new memoir entitled Elvis & Ginger that was released on September 2nd.
In her memoir, Alden confessed that she always found the singer handsome, and was shocked by the numerous reports that were circulating in 1977 claiming that he was a caricature of himself.
Alden who got engaged to the star at the age of 20 on January 26, 1977, stated that the singer loved salt, which made him appear bloated on television screens.
According to Alden, the Rock ‘n’ Roll icon was never fat, he just looked like a 42-year-old man.
Elvis Presley’s fiancée revisited the day he proposed to her in the new memoir. The former beauty queen shared that the “I Want You, I Need You, I Love You” singer sat her in his favorite room at Graceland, the palatial master bathroom and told her some beautiful things.
He proposed with an enormous white gold three stone engagement ring, which she still owns (that might be the only thing she has from Elvis who left her nothing in his will.)
Ginger Alden opened up in Elvis & Ginger, about the day the “Something for Everybody” singer died at his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee.
Alden said that in the early hours of August 16, 1977, Elvis told her that he was going in the restroom to read.
At around 2 PM, when she realized that he never came back to bed, she went in the bathroom where she found Elvis lying on the ground.
Alden slapped him and rapidly called for help, but he died of an overdose of medication.
Ginger Alden’s new memoir revealed like many celebrities, Elvis suffered from chronic insomnia and was taking medication prescribed by his doctor at the time of his death.
Elvis & Ginger is probably a rosy portrait of Elvis’ final years, but it still is a very interesting read.
Will this new book put an end to some of the wild conspiracy theories that surround Elvis Presley’s death?
