The Honky Tonk Man, formally world renowned singer "Elvis 'The King Of The Ring' Presley", was known all around the world as the king of rock n roll until he faked his own death in 1977. To see the King's former life before becoming a wrestler, see his previous alias under the name Elvis Presley. Elvis had had enough of the life of Rock N Roll, and faked his own death in 1977 to get away from the media and his wife of the time, Priscilla, who was talking about a dream to become the Queen of a desert, and daughter Anne Marie, who was making her father sick to the stomach that she wanted to marry one of the members of the Jackson Five when she grew up.
