ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jerry Hopkins wrote Elvis: A Biography, the first biography of the King,
published in 1971. A sequel, Elvis: The Final Years, followed in 1980.
Both were New York Times bestsellers. Long out of print, the two books are
here completely revised and updated in one volume with the addition of all
new material, and a new final chapter that goes inside the Elvis Presley
Estate, revealing how he became Forbes magazine’s “No.1 Richest Dead
Celebrity” five years in a row.
Hopkins is the author of more than 30 books, including the best-selling
biography of Jim Morrison, No One Here Gets Out Alive, which was No. 1
on the New York Times bestseller list and has more than two million copies
in print. He also has written biographies of Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie,
and Yoko Ono, and for 20 years was a correspondent and contributing
editor for Rolling Stone. His Elvis archives at the University of Memphis
serve as a primary resource for serious Elvis scholars. Hopkins now
resides in Thailand.
