Priscilla Presley is back in the spotlight for her first public appearance since the death of her daughter, Lisa Marie Presley. The 77-year-old posed on the red carpet on March 7 to support the Los Angeles premiere of Netflix’s new adult animated series, “Agent Elvis,” inspired by the rock ‘n’ roll icon, also Priscilla’s ex-husband.
Additionally, Priscilla participated in a Q&A with “Agent Elvis” cocreator John Eddie and showrunner Mike Arnold, during which she, also as cocreator of the show, explained that she aimed for the series to serve as a way of “introducing Elvis to the youth today, wondering why he was so famous and to see him as a hero,” per The Hollywood Reporter.
The event comes nearly two months after Lisa Marie died at age 54 on Jan. 12, which occurred only two days after her and her mother’s joint appearance at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards to support “Elvis” star Austin Butler.
Priscilla herself confirmed the news of her daughter’s death to People. “It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” she said in a statement. “She was the most passionate strong and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers. At this time there will be no further comment.”
A public memorial service was held for Lisa Marie on Jan. 22, where her mother delivered an emotional tribute to her in the form of a message and poem from one of her granddaughters who paid homage to her mom, Entertainment Tonight reported. “I have no idea how to put my mother into words,” Priscilla read. “The truth is, there are too many. Lisa Marie Presley was an icon, a role model, a superhero to people all over the world. But mama was my icon, my role model, my superhero, in much more ways than one.”
Priscilla paid tribute to her daughter again on Feb. 1 on what would’ve been her 55th birthday, sharing a carousel of photos on Instagram captioned, “From the first moment I held Lisa in my arms, I’ve protected, loved and guided her, as I have my son.” She added, “Our hearts are broken, and I am having to learn to live without my only daughter. We truly love all of you, and we feel your prayers. Thank you so much for caring so deeply for our family. 🌹.”
Since Lisa Marie’s death, Priscilla has been embroiled in an ongoing legal battle with her granddaughter Riley Keough over control of Elvis’s estate.
