40th Anniversary Of Elvis Death , Lisa Marie's Sad Breakdown

As the 40-year Anniversary of the King’s Death Looms, His Only Daughter Hits Rock Bottom

There are fresh fears for Lisa Marie Presley amid claims that she’s ‘devastated’ and ‘not coping’ over the upcoming anniversary of her legendary father’s death.

The 49-year-old appeared strung out in LA recently, chain-smoking as she struggled to talk to a friend.

Sources tell New Idea that the 40-year anniversary of Elvis’ death on August 16 has hit Lisa Marie hard, and friends are worried that she’s spiralling down the same path of destruction and addiction that claimed her father’s life.

‘Lisa Marie is taking the upcoming anniversary of her dad’s death really badly and is not coping at all,’ reveals a close friend. ‘She’s really devastated and upset about it and feeling more alone than ever.

‘She knows that she’s battled many of the same demons that her father did before he died at age 42. They’ve both had drug problems, ballooning weight and relationship turmoil.
