Priscilla Presley is giving fans a glimpse into Elvis Presley’s private life.
The King of Rock n’ Roll’s former wife shed light on where he would escape to when he wasn’t performing – the peaceful islands of Hawaii.
“He would always go there to relax, first chill out, and then he felt much better in confronting what he had to do and finish up… shows in Vegas and other places as well,”
Presley said ahead of an event at the Hawaii Theatre Center, according to People via local news outlet KHON2.
“When he performed. I mean, he gave it his all. So, after that month, let’s say, of him performing, he just needed to chill out and just not think of anything and relax… appreciate life.”
Hawaii was a special place for the “Hound Dog” crooner, as he filmed three of his movies in the Aloha State – “Blue Hawaii,” “Hawaiian Style” and “Girls! Girls! Girls!”
Priscilla reportedly shared private wedding footage and clips of Elvis’ personal career in film and on the television series, “Dallas,” according to the event’s site.
During the “An Evening with Priscilla Presley” event, she spoke out about the challenges of being married to Elvis, including how to navigate his fame.
Priscilla’s event came after she previously explained why she never remarried after Elvis.
“I just don’t think that he could handle that,” she shared of the famed musician while answering questions at the South Point Casino in Las Vegas, per People. “To be honest with you, I never wanted to marry after him. I never had any desire.”
“No one could ever match him,” she admitted in November 2023.
The couple met when Priscilla was only 14, and got married in 1967. They welcomed daughter Lisa Marie nine months after their wedding, but never had additional children.
“With his scheduling and his touring, he just felt he wasn’t around enough to give a lot of attention to having another child.” Lisa Marie died in January from a small bowel obstruction. She was 54.
The couple was separated by 1972. Elvis filed for divorce on his 38th birthday in 1973, although they remained close.
Elvis Presley’s legacy continues to captivate fans around the world, and his time in Hawaii holds a special place in the hearts of many.
The King of Rock n’ Roll found solace and relaxation on the peaceful islands, away from the hustle and bustle of his legendary career.
Priscilla Presley, his former wife, recently shared insights into Elvis’ private life in Hawaii, where he would retreat to unwind and recharge.
During a recent event at the Hawaii Theatre Center, Priscilla reminisced about Elvis’ love for the Aloha State, where he filmed several iconic movies.
Hawaii served as a sanctuary for the music icon, allowing him to escape the pressures of his demanding schedule and to simply appreciate life.
The serene beauty of the islands provided the perfect backdrop for moments of peace and reflection for Elvis.
Priscilla also shed light on the challenges of being married to a global superstar like Elvis.
She revealed that she never remarried after his passing, as she felt that no one could ever match the unique connection they shared.
Their daughter, Lisa Marie, was the center of their world, and Elvis’s busy schedule made it difficult for them to expand their family further.
Despite their separation in 1972, Elvis and Priscilla remained close until his untimely passing. Their love story, filled with highs and lows, continues to capture the imagination of fans who are drawn to the magic of Elvis Presley.
As we continue to celebrate his life and legacy, let us remember the time he spent in Hawaii, finding peace and joy in the midst of his legendary career.
