Navarone Garibaldi Garcia admitted to spending nearly $3,000 (£2,400) on fentanyl, which nearly killed him and thanked his mum for helping him get away from doing it.

Navarone is the son of Priscilla Presley and the half-brother of Lisa Marie Presley, who she shares with the late Elvis Presley. Priscilla and Elvis were in a relationship for 13 years before they finalised their divorce in 1973. She and Elvis were married for six years, though they got divorced just four years before he died, aged 42, back in 1977. Priscilla posted the news of her son, Navarone getting married to Elisa in 2022 at the Schloss Hunigen Hotel in Emmental Valley, Switzerland.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Navarone shared that he had spent $3,000 (£2,400) a month on fentanyl and thanks his mum for helping him get away from it. He went on and said he would go to his mum's house three weeks to a months during recovery.

He said: "I don’t recommend it to anyone because it’s very lethal. If you don’t have any tolerance you die the first time you do it." He continued: "I was indisposed, I was useless. She helped me do everything."

Navarone tried heroin at 17 but at 29, fentanyl took over his life. He told the outlet he did not realize he was doing fentanyl when he was doing heroin. He claimed that all heroin in the United States contained fentanyl and because the high would not last as long as heroin, it became an expensive habit.

He said: "With heroin it would last about six to eight hours, but with fentanyl you have to do it every 45 minutes or else you start to get sick." He continued: "I was spending $3,000 a month on fentanyl. It was unbearable."

His half sister, Lisa Marie, died on January 12, 2023, due to bowel obstruction, that was believed to have been caused by weight-loss surgery. Emergency services had been called to her home, with it reported at the time she had suffered a possible cardiac arrest. According to The Sun, Lisa Marie, tried rehab five times after being addicted to cocaine and opioids. Before his death, Lisa Marie's son, Benjamin, also went to rehab after his addiction to alcohol.
