Overview

• Softly, as I Leave You: Life After Elvis was published Sept. 23, with Priscilla Presley reflecting on her life with Elvis and the years after his death.
• In the book, she writes that Elvis asked if she wanted an abortion when she became pregnant with their daughter, Lisa Marie, a request she says she rejected.
• Presley revisits allegations about Elvis’s behavior, describing frequent infidelity and restating that he once "forced" himself on her after learning of her affair with Mike Stone.
• In a Today interview, she recounts her last outing with Lisa Marie, who complained of severe stomach pain before being hospitalized; officials later ruled the death was due to sequelae of a small bowel obstruction.
• Presley disputes a lawsuit’s claim that she ended life support "within hours" of admission and notes the earlier estate dispute concluded in 2023 with Riley Keough named sole trustee, saying they are close.
