Dean Martin Told Elvis 'We'll Both Die Alone'—19 Years Later and Nobody Came to Dean's Funeral

Описание: Dean Martin Told Elvis 'We'll Both Die Alone'—19 Years Later and Nobody Came to Dean's Funeral

In 1958, Dean Martin and Elvis Presley sat alone in an empty showroom at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. What Dean told Elvis that night would haunt both of them for the rest of their lives.

"We'll both die alone."

Those five words became a prophecy that neither man could escape.

On August 16th, 1977, Elvis Presley was found dead on the bathroom floor at Graceland. He was 42 years old. Alone. Surrounded by people who knew his name but never knew him.

Eighteen years later, on Christmas Day 1995, Dean Martin died in his bedroom in Beverly Hills. He was 78 years old. Alone. And when the funeral was held, almost nobody came.

Elvis's funeral drew thousands. The streets of Memphis were packed. The world mourned together.

Dean's funeral had maybe sixty people. The man who had performed for millions, who had been one of the biggest stars in entertainment history, was buried in silence.

How did this happen? How did two of the most famous entertainers in history end up exactly where Dean predicted they would? And why was Dean forgotten while Elvis became immortal?

This is the story of a prophecy made in 1958 that came true in the most devastating way possible. A story about fame, loneliness, and the walls we build that end up becoming our prisons.

This is the story of Dean Martin and Elvis Presley. Two legends who had everything. And died with nothing that mattered.
