In a revelation that has sent ripples through the music world, Priscilla Presley has firmly dismissed a long-standing assertion made by the late Michael Jackson regarding her former husband, Elvis Presley.
The King of Pop had once claimed that, had he been present, he could have averted the tragic 1977 death of the King of Rock 'n' Roll from a heart attack at just 42 years old. Jackson, who later married Elvis's daughter, Lisa Marie, believed his intervention could have changed the course of history.
However, Priscilla Presley has now publicly refuted this notion. In a candid interview, she stated the idea was simply "impossible", pointing to the complex and deeply entrenched circumstances surrounding Elvis's health and lifestyle at the time.
"He had this idea that he could have saved Elvis," Priscilla revealed, "He thought that he could have done something, said something that would have made a difference. But the reality was, it was beyond anyone's control. It was impossible."
This poignant insight offers a rare glimpse into the relationships between three of music's most iconic figures. It underscores the enduring legacy of Elvis's untimely passing and the what-ifs that continue to haunt those left behind, even decades later.
