Aside from having his mother’s eyes, Navarone Garibaldi Garcia isn’t immediately recognizable as the son of actress Priscilla Presley, the 77-year-old ex-wife of Elvis. “A lot of people know about me,” Navarone, 35, says from the living room of his Los Angeles home, an unassuming one-story where the only hint of his extended family’s musical legacy is his guitar. “But they don’t know me.”
Though he remained largely out of the spotlight growing up, Navarone says his lineage loomed. “Kids’ parents would find out who my mom was, and they’d want a reason to talk to her,” he says. He was brought back into the public eye when he attended a memorial at Graceland for his half sister Lisa Marie Presley on Jan. 22. The only daughter of Elvis and Priscilla, Lisa Marie died suddenly of cardiac arrest at age 54 on Jan. 12. “It’s still so surreal,” Navarone says of the loss, another dark blip in a lifetime of ups and downs. The musician has a new song, “Acid Plane,” with his band Them Guns, and he’s letting the world in on his story, including life with his famous mom, his recovery from fentanyl addiction and discovering the truth about the background of his father, producer Marco Garibaldi. “I’m ready to clear up the misconceptions,” he says.
