The Guesthouse at Graceland already is a recommended hotel with a 4 star rating from Tripadvisor!
That’s BEFORE it’s even open!
WTG Graceland!!!!
Still wish there were pictures of Elvis himself in the rooms since it’s his money and more importantly his LEGACY that made it all possible! Many people will be a lot richer on the back of Elvis Presley. Show the man some respect with at least one picture of the man in the rooms!
Linda Thompson acknowledges that she was fully aware Elvis Presley was seeing other women during their time together. For years, there has been talk that Linda, herself stepped out on Elvis with his own band member.
In her book, A Little Thing Called Life, Linda dances around the subject quite cleverly. She acknowledges being sick and tired of watching Elvis sleep all day and the cheating. She talks about one day she finally left Elvis sleeping and went out during the day. It was then that she developed a friendship with Elvis’ keyboard player, David Briggs.
Linda admits to being attracted to David. But she says they did NOT start dating until AFTER Elvis and her relationship ended.
Although through the years, others have said differently including David Briggs.
Including Larry Geller catching the couple having a candle light dinner at 3 AM!
David Briggs gave an interview to Alanna Nash and said he never thought Elvis would let a woman come between them.
Charming, huh?
See Examples below:
From Elvis Presley Day by Day by Peter Guralnick and Ernst Jorgensen
Monday, November 29, 1976
Cow Palace, San Francisco
Ginger arrives but is confined to her room because Elvis has been unable to persuade Linda to leave.
When Linda finally does depart, it is for the last time. as she soon takes up a relationship with Elvis’ keyboard player, David Briggs that has begun several months earlier.
Saturday, January 12, 1977
Sportatorium, Hollywood, Florida
Elvis insists Ginger accompany him on this first tour of the year. This is David Briggs’ last tour.
He has come out on Elvis’ insistence., not knowing whether or how much Elvis knows of his relationship with Linda Thompson. but he finds out when Elvis pulls the plug on his electric keyboard toward the end of the tour.
Baby, Let’s Play House Elvis Presley and the women who loved him by Alanna Nash
Exactly who did the leaving is a matter of semantics. Linda logged a few days on the next tour. Elvis’ 8th tour of 1976.
But she was already emotionally involved with keyboard player David Briggs, who’d offered a strong shoulder.
Elvis had his suspicions and sent Larry Geller to a restaurant, where he found the couple enjoying a candlelight dinner at 3 AM.
“The band was afraid he was going to shoot me.” David remembers.
“I didn’t think he would let a woman get between us.” David Briggs was interviewed by Alanna for her book.
But Elvis would soon make his feelings clear, pulling the plug on David’s electric keyboard one night toward the end of the tour.
Linda’s affair broke Elvis’ heart says Mindi because he had already been betrayed by Priscilla.
But he never looked at it that he betrayed anybody else.
He just said, ” She’s going out with my damn piano player.”

Here’s a list (AT END) of what Lockwood fesses up to along with the photos of HUNDREDS of guitars Lisa must have known of, so just imagine what is hidden in storage that Lisa doesn’t know of!!!!
Talk about SELF ENTITLEMENT!
Elvis Presley HIMSELF did not have this many guitars!
Gluttony at it’s best!
How dare he!!!!
Well, the party is over for you, Lockwood.
I think Lisa should get ALL these Guitars and DONATE them to the James Burton Charitable Foundation in her family name.
Let the kids enjoy these instruments!
Elvis’ money paid for them.
It’s not like this guy had a job outside of the Presley name. And he certainly won’t need ALL these guitars again!
Whether he plays the local dive bar or Elks lodge, HE HAS NO NEED FOR ALL OF THIS!
I hope Lisa’s lawyer has been to his site and took note of all of these guitars….if not, I did:)
Geez, I wish the Memphis Mafia was a few years younger, this fool would have learned a lesson had Elvis been alive and he took advantage of his baby girl.
There’s a seat waiting for him next to ALL the other SELL OUTS the Presley family has encountered.

| Lisa Marie Presley’s English Estate |
Yes, that’s right, LISA MARIE PRESLEY’s English estate!
Her money paid for it. Let’s not be ridiculous here!
Why would Lisa keep this? She moved away a few years ago!
And now that she has discovered that her alleged compulsive spending husband was buying everything under the sun for himself and hiding it all in storage lockers….rightly so she would sell!
“Michael Lockwood left her in a bad way both financially and emotionally and she can’t wait to unload the place!” a source close to the former couple exclusively told The National ENQUIRER.
“Michael ripped her off for millions!” the source spilled. “Now she needs cash fast to get out of the hole he dug for her!” Another source reported that he was buying expensive gifts for himself, like guitars and electronics, and charging her accounts! “She discovered that he ran up a $109,000 Amex bill when she got sued!” an insider revealed.
Now, Presley is so desperate for money that she’s willing to slash $4.5 million from the asking price reports, Radaronline.
LISA put down $9 million dollars in 2010 for their dream estate — Coes Hall — in the English village of Rotherfield, East Sussex.
The couple LISA also spent millions on improvements to the historic hall, according to neighbors. The manor boasts eleven bedrooms, a billiards room, an entertainment complex with cinema and cocktail bar, three swimming pools, a guest cottage and two private apartments.
“She’s taking a big hit in the pocket selling Coes Hall,” said a neighbor. “She spent a fortune on the place. I guess she needs some of that money back now.”
Source: National Enquirer – Radaronline
BIM:
I don’t think Lisa is desperate for cash, she is just DONE! She wants OUT!
We all have been there, your final straw. Done, just walk away!
Lisa and family have not lived here for a few years. It costs A LOT of money to maintain the property.
And her alleged gold digging husband has been spending money on HIMSELF as if he earned it!
Lisa has always lived within her means, never like a Kardashian. I respect that about her.
Her Daddy wanted her to have everything.
Elvis intended for that money to go to Lisa and HER FAMILY as a whole to live happily.
Not for some jerk to selfishly buy himself guitars and other gifts he hid in storage lockers.
Where is the Memphis Mafia now?
These guys need to go FULL Mike Stone on this creep!
According to Radaronline insiders, Presley’s estranged fourth husband, Michael Lockwood, will seek full custody of Elvis‘ 7-year-old granddaughters Harper and Finley.
“At Lisa’s request, child protective services was brought in to monitor the situation right after she and Michael split,” a family insider told Radar.
“Now she regrets that decision because the social worker put her under a microscope and based on a negative evaluation, Lisa was sent to rehab.”
As Radar reported, just weeks after Presley, 48, filed for divorce in June, she checked into The Hills Treatment Center in Los Angeles to beat addictions to alcohol, painkillers and other drugs.
“Michael is now lawyering up to get full custody of their girls,” said the insider.
“Even if Lisa Marie gets clean, Michael will argue that she’s often a disinterested and absentee parent.”
When the couple was living in Franklin, Tenn., Lockwood took on most of the parenting duties while Presley was distant, said the source.
Added the insider “Now that Michael isn’t around, the girls’ nannies are raising them with help from” Presley’s mom, Priscilla.
BIM: I say Malarkey to it all!
It still has not been confirmed if Lisa is in rehab. And these days, people go to rehab for emotional issues, support and coping skills not just drugs and alcohol.
And could you blame Lisa?
The poor girl can NOT trust ANYONE!
Everyone becomes a “SOURCE” for the tabloids.
This guy can NEVER have FULL custody of these little girls. They have to be under Lisa’s very skilled and secured guard.
Gladys would be very proud how Lisa protects her babies!
And no way could I see Lisa EVER EVER being distant to her children.
You can say a lot about Lisa. But one thing you can’t say, and that is that she not a good mother.
She loves her children, she adores and respects them, and most importantly she keeps them safe.
Lisa loves her children more than herself.
I do not believe this.
And if this coward is finally coming out of hiding and lawyering up……he’s out for more Presley money!
WAH! Did he have to take the kids to school? WAH!
That’s the LEAST he could do while he was spending Lisa’s money!
And if that’s the case, could you blame Lisa for being upset right now?
This was the ultimate betrayal. I don’t know how Lisa copes day by day.
It definitely is very hard. So whatever the case, let’s not judge.
Let’s be kind and offer some positive thoughts and prayers to Lisa and her little girls tonight.
