The Presley family is once again in the center of the media spotlight. And just one year after the death of the king of rock's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, her brother Navarone Garibaldi has given a lot to talk about due to his latest statements given to the British media The Sun, in which he wanted to explain the harsh addiction he had to fentanyl, a drug much more lethal than heroin and which has become the leading cause of death in the United States.
The son of Priscilla Presley and producer Marco Garibaldi revealed the terrible fight he had to face against drugs when he was only 17 years old and that could have ended his life.
The 36-year-old artist and member of the rock band Them Guns explained during the interview that he began consuming fentanyl at the age of 17 without any type of control and that little by little he suffered the side effects. ''I don't know how this happened, but all the heroin in the United States started to contain fentanyl,'' he claimed. ''At first I didn't realize I was taking fentanyl. And suddenly I became addicted to it (...) If you don't have tolerance, you can die on the first try. "It's a terrifying thing," he confessed.
In addition, Lisa Marie Presley's half-brother also wanted to reveal what his experience was like: ''The effects of heroin can last between six and eight hours. But with fentanyl you need to consume every 45 minutes or you start to get sick.'' In addition, her addiction also involved a large financial outlay. ''He spent about $3,000 a month on fentanyl,'' he said.
After realizing the addiction he suffered from, the artist decided to ask his mother, Priscilla Presley, for help, and thanks to the support of his family he was able to move forward. To do this, Navarone Garibaldi moved for about a month to the house of Elvis Presley's widow, where he began his rehabilitation process. ''My mother helped me with everything. "He was unwell, he was useless," the artist confessed to the aforementioned media.
Likewise, Navarone Garibaldi also wanted to open up about the tense relationship he had with his sister Lisa Marie Presley. ''I really loved my sister. I tried many times to improve our relationship. But there came a point where I realized that we were better off without seeing each other,' he stressed.
