Elvis’ close family speak out on missing Lisa Marie Presley’s funeral | Music | Entertainment

Jo continued: “Really we never had any bad feelings or bad thoughts or we never had any confusion with Priscilla or any of them. After Billy was fired from Graceland, which he was…he had tried to call and talk to Priscilla and she didn’t take his calls. Lisa, he did talk to Lisa and said ‘Have your Mom call me’, but she never did.

When Billy was let go, he asked what he had done and claimed it was that while he loved Graceland there were some things he hated as the home was being turned into a museum. He said: “If I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t go along with it… We never saw Lisa or talked to them again after that.”

Yet despite this, the couple claimed the real reason they didn’t attend the funeral was “out of respect” for the grieving Presley family.
