Of everything I've ever read, he never had his tonsillis removed.

Ya,you're right.What did happen with Elvis' bouts of tonsillitis in later years? I read that he had a bad time,with his tonsils in the army,while stationed in Germany.

I know he had really bad problems with them,but I don't think he ever had them taken out..

I just found this..not sure if it's true or not..

June 3,1959- Striken with tonsillitis, Elvis enters the base hospital and remains there for six days, during which a fruitless search is undertaken for a doctor who will operate on the famous throat. The inflammation is instead allowed to run its course.

This was true according to Elvis himself as he talked about it in his first interview from Graceland after his return from the Army, but he never had his tonsillis removed.

Elvis didn't want to have his tonsilis removed because he thought that he'd lose his singing voice.Maybe afraid of something happening during surgery?

I came across this letter that Elvis had written to Anita Woods while he was in the Army and on the third page he talks about having tonsillitis again.

Yes he did. They try to remove these early in years, easier for the person suffering from it all, lol but when you are a singer, it's a dangerous proceedure that requires great care not to affect any nerves near the vocal chords...
