Elvis STOPPED Entire Concert to Read THIS Letter — 5,000 People Broke Down in TEARS
During a 1974 Las Vegas show, Elvis Presley stopped singing Can’t Help Falling in Love when his manager handed him an urgent letter. Onstage, he opened it and read a message from Michael, an 8-year-old St. Jude patient with leukemia whose final wish was simply to hear Elvis sing. The entire room fell silent as Elvis read the heartbreaking note. Then he dedicated the song to Michael, leading 5,000 people in an emotional sing-along. The next morning, Elvis flew to Memphis, visited Michael privately, sang for him for hours, and gave him his guitar. Michael died weeks later—holding that guitar.
