In 1997 he was Knighted by Queen Elizabeth, and he re-wrote and sang "Candle in the Wind" as a tribute to his friend Princess Lady Diana at her funeral.
 Elvis Presley
Elvis suffered with bipolar disorder, which is a more technical name for manic depression. Elvis' substance abuse, eating disorders, and chronic depression should be placed in the larger context of a personality disorder. We think that this will shed new light on the issue of Elvis' death and will take it out of the narrow context of suspected overdose and addiction to the larger and more fundamental issues of Elvis' childhood, family history, the cultural influences of the times in which he lived and other factors which contributed to a possible personality disorder.
