From the Paper:

" Meanwhile Presley's personal life had become the subject of countless tabloids. In February 1972, Presley separated from Priscilla and on his birthday in 1973, filed for divorce. Less than a week later the TV special Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii was broadcast over satellite to over a billion people in forty countries, an indication of his international appeal although, with the exception of three dates in Canada in 1957 and an impromptu performance in Paris while on leave in 1959, Presley never performed outside the United States.
