Congressman Cohen Expresses Sadness at the Death of Lisa Marie Presley

MEMPHIS – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) learned of the death of Lisa Marie Presley this evening and released the following statement:

“I am terribly saddened. She was much too young. She was just here in Memphis on Sunday for her father’s birthday and talked about how energizing it was to be among his fans. She looks so much like her father. I was pleased to see her Tuesday night on the Golden Globes  where she saw her father’s bio-epic recognized. I remember 1977 when Elvis died and how I was affected. When he died, it was personal because we’d grown up with him. This is a sad day for Elvis fans, including myself. I extend my deepest condolences to Lisa Marie’s mother, Priscilla, and to her children.”
