Elvis: What Happened? is a 1977 tell-all memoir about the personal life of American singer Elvis Presley. The book, which is based on the personal accounts of three of Elvis' former bodyguards, went into detail on the singer's dangerous drug abuse. His death, only two weeks after the book's publication in July 1977, made it highly topical and helped boost its sales to over three million. The bodyguards – Red West, his cousin Sonny West, and David Hebler – had been fired purportedly for cost-saving reasons, though many suspected it was because they had been heavily critical of Elvis’ increasing dependence upon various drugs. With help from reporter Steve Dunleavy, they produced the book which they claimed to be a friendly warning, rather than a money-making exercise. Since the singer's death, most of its claims have proven accurate.

Kematiannya, hanya dua pekan setelah buku tersebut diterbitkan pada Juli 1977, membuat karya tersebut menjadi topik hangat dan terjual lebih dari 3 juta buah. Para penjaganya, Robert Gene West, sepupunya Sonny West, dan David Hebler, telah dipecat, resminya untuk alasan menyelamatkan biaya, tetapi pada masa itu, beberapa orang menduganya karena mereka sangat mengkritik makin meningkatnya ketergantungan Elvis terhadap berbagai obat-obatan. Dengan bantuan dari wartawan , mereka memproduksi memoir pengisahan yang mereka klaim merupakan persahabatan yang hangat, ketimbang dengan tujuan mencari uang. Sejak penyanyi tersebut wafat, kebanyakan klaimnya dinyatakan akurat.

Le guardie del corpo, Red West, suo cugino Sonny West, e David Hebler, erano stati licenziati, ufficialmente per ragioni di taglio del budget, ma all'epoca, molti sospettarono che la ragione fossero state le loro critiche alla crescente dipendenza di Elvis da farmaci e medicinali. Con l'aiuto del giornalista , decisero quindi di scrivere un libro fortemente scandalistico che loro definirono un "avvertimento amichevole", piuttosto che un espediente per fare soldi. Fin dalla morte di Presley, molte delle affermazioni incluse nel libro si dimostrarono fondate.
