Recording in Elvis Presley's House the Night Lisa Marie Died

Talking with Dean Roland of Collective Soul

Dean Roland of Collective Soul: This house (in Palm Springs) was the one that Elvis actually owned. He and Priscilla bought it. And that was (where) he would spend his holidays and his birthday. He spent his last birthday in that house.

In fact, it was strange. We were there. We had the control room set up in Lisa Marie's room. The next room over was Priscilla's. The back room was Elvis's.

And we were actually in (the house) the night that Lisa Marie passed.

That night the ceiling collapsed in that room.

Cris Cohen: Oh my God.

Dean Roland: It was rough (weather). Bad rains that night.

And we were able to save the equipment and all that stuff, but it was just kind of uncanny that it happened to be on the same day.
