Not sure about the King’s last melody

I FOUND the article regarding Elvis (The King and I, July 8) interesting about the tour available at Graceland.

In particular one of the last paragraphs, that read: “It’s poignant to stand by the piano where, at 4.30am on August 26, 1977, Elvis played his final Unchained Melody.”

Well I’d say it’s was a lot more than poignant, it was an absolute miracle as he actually died on August 16!
