Despite a divorce, Priscilla remained an important person in Elvis’s life. He too was supportive of Priscilla’s career, including helping her open her first store in 1973. The singer lived at Graceland until August 16, 1977, when he was found unconscious on the property at 42 years old.
After his passing, Elvis’ daughter, Lisa Marie, was named the sole beneficiary of the estate. Later, in 1982, Priscilla announced that their home of Graceland would become a memorial museum for the late singer and open to the public.
