Lisa Marie on Elvis
In a 2012 interview Lisa Marie Presley had spoken about her father’s influence on her. “It’s been all my life. It’s not something that I now listen to and it’s different. Although I might listen closer. I remain consistent on the fact that I’ve always been an admirer. He’s always influenced me,” she had told AP.
Baz Luhrmann’s musical Elvis
