Did Elvis lost weight after his final concert in Indianapolis?

Getlo, not the same picture at all - go back to my bottom picture and click on it, it will make it larger and he does have a cigar in his mouth.

Not sure what pic you mean; can you enlarge the face and put it on here?

Cheers.

Am at work, can't right now, but go back a couple of pages to the photo's that I posted - the bottom photo - click on it - it enlarges and shows you he has a cigar in his mouth - the photo you posted saying it was "same" photo but he has a glass of water in his hand - not the same photo at all......

Oh, that one.

As discussed elsewhere, this picture could not be from 1976.

It's the INTERNATIONAL HOTEL in the background and the Hilton became the International in 1971.

And he looks way too thin for '76 in that shot.

okay, whoever posted it mislabeled it then.....no skin off my teeth either way...don't care when he smoked or not smoked, etc. Sorry for the confusion.

I saw it,but I think he looks like he was in 1976...but that's my opinion

[Getlo]

Well, it's just my opinion, but I believe I'm right about that photo. I've seen it labelled elsewhere as Vegas '76, but it can't be.

Besides, Elvis spent his entire time in Vegas up in his suite by 1976, by all accounts. I can't see him venturing out in the day by that stage.

I was in Vegas in August of 1971 and it was the International..by the time August of 72 rolled around everything said Las Vegas Hilton. If the background reads "International" then it is at the latest August of 71.. And..Getlo is right, his face his waaay too thin for 76

well believe it or not Elvis smoked up til day he died Cigars that is. I've done many shows with his family and friends. That one photo is from 1976 December to be exact notice the winter jacket? LOL

Smoking a cigar showed a sign of power back in 50s, 60s, and 70s my grandmother told me. And Elvis was on TOP of the music world so...

Love to all,

Tim, the only way the photo could be from December 1976 is if it wasn't taken in Vegas.

But it was - the International is in the background.

And because it's the International, it cannot be from '76.

And the jacket is no indication of anything. Elvis wore jackets at strange times.

Check out the pic I posted earlier of him on the bike with a cigar between his lips. Everyone else is wearing short sleeves, but he looks as if he's ready to take on a trip to the North Pole!

getlo is right,it can't be 1976

I was just looking at the photo of Elvis with the International Hotel in the background.And to me it doesn't look like the International/Hilton hotel that he played in the sign looks different.I'm not saying it isn't it just doesn't look like it to me.

Perhaps you're right.

Which means then that the photo was not taken in Las Vegas at all.

Unless there was another International Hotel there? Naaah.

Which then means, it's not from December 1976.

It's one of those pics that's very hard to tell from his appearance when it was taken.

[ksimms2]

well I just used a magnifying glass and it's really hard to tell, but I do think it says "international hotel"....and you can tell by the background it is Vegas....the desert, the palm trees....
