Karlos, can you please share the picture with us? About his flu problems...this all happened in January and February 1973. He cancelled the midnight show on January 30th and both shows on January 31st. Also the midnight shows on February 13th, 14th and 15th. During the dinner show on the 15th he left the stage after singing just seven songs and asked the Stamps to take over. Five songs later Elvis reappeared and starts to sing "Can't Help Falling In Love". Then while the curtains already were closing Elvis refused to go and sang another five songs which contains "An American Trilogy" in which he changed the lyrics into "Oh I wish I was in the doctor's office....."

Is this the time Elvis got the notorious Vegas throat that singers complained about when they played Vegas?

Yes, among other things.......
