Ex girlfirend reveals Elvis' miserable last five years

Elvis Presley's last five years were an endless and miserable string of late nights trying to escape the attention of fans and photographers, according to The King's ex-girlfriend.

Former beauty queen Linda Thompson admits her life with Elvis was like that of two vampires.

She says: "We literally were awake all night and slept all day. The world was turned around for him because he wasn't free to go out among society."

Thompson, who is now married to top songwriter David Foster, admits there were some terrifying times for the couple, when the paparazzi attacked them.

She adds: "They jumped on the car they were throwing themselves on the windshield. It really wasn't safe for him to go out.

"In the five years I was with him we went to dinner one time and we sat there with guards around us and people ogling and watching every bite."
