Priscilla Presley sang “Happy Birthday” along with hundreds of other die hard Elvis fans on Graceland’s front lawn. Priscilla told the crowd that two horses – Max and Bandit – will now be housed on the property. Fans were treated to cake that was distributed at the Graceland gift shop.
Priscilla was 14 years old when Elvis set eyes on her. He was a decade older. Priscilla and Elvis were married in 1967 in Las Vegas at the Aladdin Hotel. They had a daughter Lisa Marie, who was born exactly nine months later in 1968. Elvis and Priscilla separated in 1972 and finally divorced in 1973.
Elvis expired in 1977 at age 42 at Graceland.
