Priscilla Presley on Elvis: 'He was really alone'

I think that he would always have his demons

Priscilla Presley

Elvis Presley's ex-wife Priscilla Presley has told Good Morning Britain she thinks her superstar spouse would have battled the same demons if he was still alive today.

In a UK exclusive, Richard Arnold caught up with Priscilla 40 years on from Elvis’s death.

Speaking ahead of a special performance in Memphis, she said: “I wish that I could share with him knowledge. Because he really was alone. He really didn’t have a peer, not with a group and not really with anyone.”

Priscilla Presley got candid about Elvis in our exclusive interview

Asked whether Elvis would have overcome his demons had he survived that night, she said: “No, I don’t [think he would have]. I think that he would always have his demons. Elvis was a thinker. He was a searcher. His mother had demons, his father had demons. We all have demons obviously; I don’t want to make it bigger than it is. They were a close family but there was always a little bit of sadness in them.”
