Every Elvis Presley Fan Should Know These Amazing Facts about The Music Legend
He served in the military despite his fame
Elvis may have enlisted in the US Army but he sure needed protection from his security services when he stepped out of the bus at Fort Chaffee in Arkansas. Not only were the fans pushing and shoving to get a good view of him, but photographers, too! This was because the singer joined the military during the height of his fame in 1958. Elvis reportedly received $78 monthly for his military service, and he was not allowed to touch his $400,000+ earning, which sat cozily in his bank account. But that was no problem for the superstar, he joined the Army wholeheartedly and never saw himself as a “special case” because of his celebrity status.
