Actor Austin Butler’s speech at the Golden Globes, which took place last Tuesday, moved fans of Lisa Marie Presley. The “Elvis” star picked up the Best Actor award and declared herself Elvis Presley’s daughter two days before the singer’s death.
“Thanks, people. Thank you for opening your hearts, memories and homes to me. Lisa Marie, Priscilla, I love you forever,” Butler said. The broadcast of the ceremony then showed the table where Lisa Marie and Priscilla were seated and Elvis’ daughter looked visibly touched, covering her face with her hands and wiping away tears.
The video again circulated on social networks and moved Internet users. “Now that makes it even more special…RIP Lisa Marie,” “I got goosebumps rewatching Austin Butler’s speech after Lisa Marie’s death,” and “This thank you just got even stronger.” It was a nice gesture from him,” were some of the comments that have appeared on the internet.
Lisa Marie Presley died yesterday after suffering cardiac arrest. The information was confirmed by Priscilla. “It is with a heavy heart that I share the devastating news that our beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” she said in a press release. “She was the most passionate, strong and kind woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to come to terms with this profound loss. Thank you for your love and prayers,” she continued.
