Elvis Presley s bed upstairs at Graceland had a special modification made by Priscilla Presley after they married so that the King wouldn t hurt himself in the dark.
Elvis Presley s Graceland upstairs is off-limits to the public, but one of the only people allowed up there has shared what it s like in The King s mysterious bedroom, next to the bathroom where he died 46 years ago.
Elvis Presley s granddaughter Riley Keough has unveiled the Graceland upstairs antics she got up to with Lisa Marie Presley and family as tours went on downstairs.

Elvis continued: “Without my fans, I wouldn’t be anything except maybe still a truck driver. They mean everything to me.”
In fact, The King would often watch his fans from his Graceland upstairs bedroom, as the first thing he did upon waking.
The star added: “I find myself sometimes just getting up and just opening the curtains and looking down at the gate and watching them.
“And they still come, day after day. It just amazes me. I’ll stand and watch them for a while in astonishment. I still can’t believe it.”
It was Elvis’ other cousin Patsy Gamble on the phone and she told Joey to get his dad.
Billy answered and she told him the tragic news that “Elvis was gone” and he’d been taken to the hospital.
The Memphis Mafia member hopped on his motorbike there and understandably says he was too upset to see the body of the man he’d been speaking with so warmly just a few hours prior.
Elvis’ funeral took place just two days later and he was buried next to his mother Gladys in Forest Hill Cemetery, before both were moved to Graceland’s Meditation Garden where their graves are to this day.
