Austin Butler credits the late Lisa Marie Presley for helping him in his award winning role as her father Elvis Presley, so he’s planning to pay his respects to her with a touching performance. Austin was with Lisa Marie at the Golden Globes less than 48 hours before her unexpected death and while he’s clearly in a state of shock and mourning, he wants to honor her at her memorial this Sunday. Austin is booked solid in the middle of Hollywood awards season, but he’s moving things around and plans to attend her memorial at Graceland. He’s been offered a private jet to make the commute easier and according to one insider, hopes to sing at least one of Elvis’s songs, Separate Ways. The lesser known song was never a hit for Elvis, but something about its darker lyrics captivated Lisa Marie, and she often said it was one of her favorites.

Austin is a great representation of what stars should be today. He is a wonderful man and shows respect for everyone he meets. Kudos for him for being there for Priscilla and Riley, Harper, & Finley and the rest of the family in such a terribly sorrowful time in their lives. Hopefully Hollywood will find more dedicated stars in the future.
