The apparent cause, according to his personal physician, Dr.
George Nikopoulos, is a heart attack.
The singer's father, [B] Vernon Presley, has requested that an autopsy be [C] performed.
[N] Why, Nick?
Why go to all this trouble?
Because he loved Elvis.
He still does.
You're not going to get in yet.
Doesn't make any difference.
There's nobody else like him.
There won't ever be anybody else like him, as far as I'm concerned.
I just can't believe he's dead.
It's terrible.
Elvis Presley was the first, and probably the foremost, in popular music.
But tonight on Radio Luxembourg, we have to inform the world that he no longer exists on our planet.

he's the one, the only, the original.
Everybody else is an imitator that came after him.
Elvis Presley almost single-handedly turned rock into the most popular music expression of the
[Gb] young.
Tonight in Memphis, Elvis died, and a generation of people cared.
It's [N] 629, it's WMAQ Chicago on J.
Marks.
Say it one more time, as much as it hurts,
Elvis Presley died today.
Many superlatives linked with his name,
the greatest and the king.
But probably the most important thing is that each person listening,
and all of us here, that Elvis had an effect, an important effect on each one of our lives.
And what more can you say about an individual?
He'll be remembered for many, many years.
But you remember [Ab] when President Kennedy died, [F] years later, people said,
do you remember where you were when you first heard the news that Kennedy was dead?
[Ab] Remember where you are now, because if you're feeling like me in a deep state of shock,
then in a few years from now, you will remember that you were listening
to the first radio [Db] station in Europe [Ab] to ever play Radio Luxembourg's number one star, Elvis Presley.
