Elvis Presley's first major girlfriend after his marriage to Priscilla fell apart was Linda Thompson, who The King dated from 1972-76. The Miss Tennessee model moved into Graceland and during this period saw every single one of his Las Vegas residency shows. At Christmas time 1976, less than a year before Elvis' untimely death at just 42, Linda amicably broke up with The King saying she wanted a more normal life out of the celebrity spotlight.
The star would go on to date Ginger Alden in his final months, but he remained close friends with his old flame. Now 72, Linda is very active on social media and regularly pays tribute to Elvis, sharing memories and photos. In one of her most recent Instagram stories, she shared how The King reacted to their breakup, heading upstairs at Graceland - an area fans to this day are not allowed to enter.
It turns out Linda didn't find out what Elvis did until his Aunt Delta revealed the truth to Linda. Vernon Presley's sister had been widowed and was invited to live at Graceland, where she ended up being the final resident until her death in 1993, over a decade after tours began at the mansion. Linda recalls that she told her that after their break up, Elvis headed upstairs to his piano to play one of his most famous late tracks.
