Elvis Presley passed away on Aug. 16, 1977 at age 42. Earlier this year, he was the subject of a glitzy biopic by director Baz Luhrmann titled 'Elvis' starring Austin Butler.
"He saw that he hit me, so he immediately dropped the knives, grabbed my finger and walked me to the bathroom," Stanley, who recently wrote his new book "The Faith of Elvis," chuckled to Fox News Digital. "We were standing by the sink, facing this huge mirror. Here was Elvis, making a big deal out of this, like he was going to have to do surgery or something. Meanwhile, I’m just standing there in amazement, smiling at him." Stephanie Nolasco covers entertainment at Foxnews.com.
However, the mood became somber. Presley quietly asked, "Do you believe God forgives us for all our sins?" A stunned Stanley replied, "Well, yeah, I mean, we’ve talked about this for almost 17 years, Elvis." Presley replied, "I just wanted to hear you say that, Billy."
