ARE YOU TWEETING TONIGHT?
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. PRISCILLA Presley claims Elvis would have hated being famous in the modern digital world.
The legendary singer’s ex-wife says that he was a very private person and would have been driven mad by celebrity culture.
The 71-year-old said: “He wouldn’t have done well today, that’s for sure.
“I couldn’t ever see him ‘Twittering’ or telling people on social media what he was doing or eating.
“He was a very, very private person and he guarded that because our life together could be madness.
“He couldn’t go and do or see things like normal people. Going out was too difficult because he would attract a crowd.” The Dallas star added: “We hardly ever went to restaurants and if we ever did go to the movies we’d go in after the film started and leave just before it ended.” His iconic Memphis mansion, Graceland, was where Elvis would retreat from the mayhem of his mega-star lifestyle. And thanks to the actress’s canny financial management, the sprawling estate continued to thrive as a tourist attraction after Elvis’s death in 1977. Priscilla met the singer in Germany when she was 14 and he was 24. They married eight years later and split in 1973.
