Elvis ex Linda Thompson returns to Graceland in touching new photos ‘Deep memories’
Elvis Presley's old flame Linda Thompson has returned to Graceland in touching new photos for Elvis Week.
Elvis Presley dated former Miss Tennessee model Linda Thompson from 1972-76, during which she lived with The King at Graceland. Now 74, the star’s old flame has returned to Memphis Mansion for Elvis Week celebrations.
Posting new photos of herself inside the house, Linda highlighted her own influences on Graceland and posted some vintage snaps too. She captioned the post: “Guess where I am? Back in my former home, Graceland, to share memories of the king of rock & roll & many hearts… including mine.
“I am honored to be a guest of EPE and Graceland, and to have the opportunity to meet so many wonderful fans from around the world who are devoted to Elvis’s incomparable legacy.”
Linda continued: “Scroll through to see the stained glass peacocks I designed and had made that separate the living room from the music room… The famous jungle room that Elvis and I decorated together… And his beautiful Maltese cross that I designed and had made for Elvis – his 1973 Christmas gift from me. And finally a couple of throwback photos. The memories I have from living in this home with Elvis for 4 1/2 years are deeply carved into my being. Those years helped to shape me into the woman I have become. I continue to be grateful for the rarified privilege of having so intimately known such an astounding human soul!”
