Oh what a lovely gesture during a such a somber event!
It’s been 35 years since Elvis Presley died on Aug. 16, 1977, and at a candlelight vigil commemorating the influential singer at his Graceland home Wednesday night, an unprecedented situation occurred!
Elvis’ wife Priscilla Presley and their daughter Lisa Marie Presley attended the occasion, together.
At the vigil, Lisa Marie expressed:
“I’ve always avoided this because I felt that it would be too emotional. But I really felt it was important to come down here tonight. I love you very, very, very much.”
Priscilla added:
“You should see this from our point of view. It’s amazing. It’s truly a sight to behold.”
75,000 people gathered at the generation-defining singer’s Memphis home, and many left flowers and other commemorative items on the King’s poolside grave.
We wish we could have known you, Elvis! Your music is still SO celebrated to this day! And honestly, we don’t really wanna see your hologram form morbidly imitating your signature hip-thrusts… only the real YOU can make us swoon so.
