In 1972, Elvis and Pricilla separated and they filed for divorce in August. Elvis became very depressed. His divorce took effect in October 1973 and he became increasingly unwell. During this time his autograph was changing and it experienced many variations. Twice he overdosed on barbiturates. He spent three days in a coma and toward the end of 1973 he was hospitalized.
