'Elvis had a thing about someone shooting and killing him for no reason. At my wedding he had five guns on in the church - one close up under each arm, one stuck in his belt, one behind him and one in his boot.'
Sonny West, Bodyguard.
'There were times when he was very, very difficult. There was a lot of heartache, and he exhibited a lot of self destructive behaviour, which was very difficult for me, you know - watching someone I loved so much destroy himself.'
Linda Thompson, girlfriend.
