Why Elvis Presley Joined the American Army in 1958 and Gave Up His Role of Singer ?
Question by Marité: Why Elvis Presley joined the American army in 1958 and gave up his role of singer ?
I know in 1958 Elvis joined the American army and went to Germany .So when he returned to the United States in the early 60s , his success wasn’t the same.British groups like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were the new stars. In his last years, he became fat and depressed.So he died of a heart attack because of a drug overdose at his colonial stylish mansion called Graceland in Memphis.

Elvis did not have a choice but go into the army, he was drafted and so he had to go. His career had to be put on hold until he had finished his stint in the army. Sorry to say he did get his career back when he left the army, Elvis is King of Rock n Roll, always has been and always will be.
