Priscilla Presley thinks Elvis Presley would still be touring if he was alive today.
Priscilla Presley shares ‘difficult times’ in new Elvis memoir
The King of Rock and Roll – who died on August 16, 1977, at the age of 42 – would have turned 91 this month and his former wife Priscilla believes he would still be working if he was alive now.
She told HELLO! Magazine: “I think he’d be doing the same thing in life – singing and touring. He loved it.”
Priscilla has written a new memoir about her and Elvis and admitted it was tough to relive their “difficult times”.
She said: “It took me a while to finish it up – more than 11 months. You remember a lot of things, and it was a good thing, to be honest. A lot of remembering wonderful times and difficult times – and you’re reliving your life.”
However, Priscilla – who was married to Elvis for six years from 1967 to 1973 – has fond memories of Elvis and remained close to him after their divorce.
She said: “We always remained friendly and would still get together. Of course, we had our daughter [the late Lisa Marie Presley], and I would bring her to see her dad perform and made sure they spent a lot of time together. She’d spent extensive time with him at Graceland.
“We still cared for each other, he [was] fun to be with.”
