 In 1976, Deep Purple breaks up but reunites in 1984. 1995, 18 years after Elvis Presley's death, his personal physician, Dr. George Nikopoulos, is stripped of his license to practice by the Tennessee Board of Examiners because of Dr. Nick's over-prescribing to other patients. In 1977 alone, Dr. Nick reportedly prescribed 10,000 doses of uppers, downers, and other drugs for Elvis.
