LOS ANGELES — Just a week after Priscilla Presley contested the will of her late daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, the ex-wife of legendary singer Elvis Presley is addressing rumors of a family rift head on and telling fans to ignore "the noise."
"I loved Elvis very much as he loved me. Lisa is a result of our love. For anyone to think anything differently would be a travesty of the family legacy and would be disrespectful of what Elvis left behind in his life," Priscilla Presley, 77, said Friday in a statement to the Los Angeles Times.
Lisa Marie Presley was the only child from the 1967-1973 marriage of the "Jailhouse Rock" crooner and the "Dallas" star. When Elvis died in 1977, the King of Rock 'n' Roll left his estate to his daughter. She died unexpectedly last month, setting off a legal battle over the future stewardship of his lucrative estate.
