This lax attitude gave Lisa Marie a lot of freedom during her childhood. She told The Talk on CBS that: “He was not strict at all. … My mom was completely the opposite, she was really strict, so it was very confusing.” She went on to say that Elvis did spend a lot of time with her even after her parents’ divorce. She was only 9 years old when her father passed away in 1977.

As is often the case when it comes to rock and roll, Elvis had developed a drug addiction, which caused the decline in his career and may have even impacted his health, contributing to his early death. He was addicted to prescription drugs, and Priscilla shared: “Ordinary [intimate] thrills sometimes were not enough, especially when he was under the influence of powerful drugs. Eventually, Elvis’s consumption of drugs seemed as normal to me as watching him eat a pound of bacon with his Spanish omelette.” She shared that she tried to hide his pills, but it did not help, saying “you did not tell Elvis Presley what to do.”
