‘BUCKLED DOWN’

Priscilla Presley’s Son Opens Up About Drug Addiction

The 35-year-old musician said he spent a month detoxing at his mother’s home in 2020.

Navarone Garibaldi Garcia, the 35-year-old son of Elvis Presley’s widow Priscilla Presley, has taken a rare step back into the spotlight in an interview with People, revealing intimate details about his fentanyl addiction. “I was under the impression I was doing heroin, but then it’d turn out to be fentanyl,” the Them Guns musician said. “That was a whole different beast. I became so addicted that I’d need it every 45 minutes.” Garcia, who said he’d struggled with drugs since his teens, quit drugs in 2020 during a month-long detox at Priscilla’s home. It was all part of a mission to visit Switzerland, where his girlfriend was living at the time. The pair have since married. “When COVID happened, I wanted to go there and see her for more than three or four days. I didn't want to have to bring a pound of fentanyl with me anywhere I went,” he told the outlet. “I buckled down and said, ‘Let’s see how bad this can get.’”
