Listen, paramedics have already arrived.” He said, “There’s a gate that’s in the neighborhood but they will let them through.” Lisa Marie and Danny were living together after getting married in 1988, and then separating six years later.

Lisa Marie spoke out about her struggle with addiction to prescription painkillers in 2019. She wrote in the preface of Harry Nelson’s The United States of Opioids : A Prescription to Liberate a Nation In Pain that she felt “grateful” to be alive after she was prescribed opioids after giving birth to her daughters Vivienne & Finley.
She wrote: “It took only a short-term opioid prescription in the hospital to make me feel the need to continue taking them.” “[I am] grateful to still be alive… and have four beautiful kids who have given me purpose to carry me through dark times.”
In August 2018, she told the Today Show that her addiction began six years earlier. “It is a difficult road to overcome this dependency and to put my own life back together,” Nelson continued in the book’s foreword. In recent years, too many of the people I love have struggled with addiction or died tragically as a result. We must finally let go of the shame we feel about addiction. “We have to stop blaming ourselves and others around us. That begins with sharing our stories.”
