Tonight "The Insider" shows incredible footage of Elvis Presley just six weeks before his death -- drenched in sweat, slurring his words onstage during a performance; backstage he seemed out of it, bloated and exhausted. Now, we're with the King of Rock 'n' Roll's personal physician, Dr. George Nichopoulos, who reveals the story behind that footage for the first time ever. "The problem at that time was that he had been given some medication to help him sleep, and one of the side effects is that it will drop your blood pressure down," says Dr. Nick, who gave Elvis the pills that made him slur his words. The author of The King and Dr. Nick: What Really Happened to Elvis and Me, in stores February 2010, says, "Unfortunately, there's not a drug that treats everything; each medical problem needs its own medication." The incredible footage comes from the new DVD "This is Elvis," in stores now. Many people have compared Elvis' death to Michael Jackson's, and Dr. Nick says of Jackson's own personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, now the focus of a police investigation, "I'm sure he's running scared."
