Priscilla Presley Addresses Theories That Elvis Presley Is Still Alive

Priscilla Presley isn’t entertaining any conspiracy theories.

Nearly five decades after her ex-husband Elvis Presley died of heart failure, the 80-year-old is shutting down online speculation that the late music legend is still alive.

“There’s been so much that’s untruthful out there—things like Elvis is still alive and hidden somewhere,” Priscilla told People in a September cover story. “I wish he was still alive.”

Along with setting the record straight that the “Burning Love” singer is resting peacefully, Priscilla went on to reflect on their whirlwind romance, which began in 1959 when she was just 14 years old.

“I met him at such a young age I didn’t have time to think about life yet,” she continued. “Even when dating him, I’d think, ‘What am I going to do? I don’t want to be a nurse. I don’t want to be a teacher. I don’t want to be a secretary. What can do?’ Other things happened, and I love every moment.”
