Overview
- Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis was published Sept. 23, following Priscilla Presley’s promotional interview on NBC’s Today.
- Presley writes that Elvis asked whether she wanted an abortion when she became pregnant with Lisa Marie, saying he would support her decision.
- She describes discovering letters from other women and says of their marriage that "there were too many of us," while still calling Elvis "very, very special."
- The memoir says Elvis considered having Mike Stone killed after learning of her affair and clarifies a long-debated account as "forcefully, not forcibly" during their final sexual encounter.
- Presley recounts her last outing with Lisa Marie and says she authorized removing life support after doctors revived her heart; the coroner previously cited a small bowel obstruction as the cause of death.
