Like David Bowie, Elvis Presley had a voracious drug habit, although he wasaddicted to prescription drugs, not cocaine. According to ex-wife Priscilla Presley in Elvis and Me, he was obsessed with the occult, which ran counter to his public image. Elvis, who famously sang many gospel songs throughout his career, was known as a Christian who appreciated church and family values. However, Priscilla paints an entirely different picture of the famous singer.
According to Priscilla, Elvis was constantly looking for new ways to enter into “higher levels of consciousness.” While drugs may have played a part in his growing obsession with the supernatural, Priscilla said that Elvis frequently read books from a variety of authors about occultism. Entering into a state of celibacy, he did little more than take barbiturates and the sedative Placidyl, then fight his drowsiness as he tried to read his books.
Priscilla said that Elvis eventually kicked his obsession with the occult and had her burn all of his books. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for his drug habit. With his usage increasing, his health deteriorated. He eventually turned back to Christianity, which became more important to him in the dark days of his later life.
