It was hardly expected. His decline into an early deasth was a shock given his previous fame...

We played an hour of Elvis at work today in mark of the event, though I did not give this reason for putting it on in place of the more usual Muse, Marilyn Manson, or other things I am not quite on the same wavelength as.
