Collective Soul has a new retrospective documentary out on Blu-ray and video on demand, and the film centers around the recording of their 2024 effort, Here to Eternity, which took place at Elvis Presley’s Palm Springs house in late 2022 and early 2023. As it happens, the band was there when the news broke that Presley’s daughter, Lisa Marie, died in January 2023.
I had a chance to speak to Collective Soul’s bass player and co-founder, Will Turpin, about the event and how it impacted the band ahead of the documentary, titled Give Me a Word: The Collective Soul Story, hitting the 2025 movie schedule. Turpin told me Lisa Marie’s presence was very much felt that day..
