Elvis Presley's ex-wife Priscilla Presley is fighting off rumors that she is near her death bed, and the rumor got bad enough she decided to go public to make sure everyone knows she is totally fine!

Lisa Marie's mom spends most of her time keeping the King's legend alive, hosting events at his home in Graceland and interacting with his fans. But, recent reports said the matriarch of the Presley family is in failing health.

"As I have stated before, I’m in very good health, I’m not dying and I still have my memory. Don't put me under yet... I have to much to do in this lifetime. Where these crazy articles come from is beyond me," Presley posted on Facebook.

She continued, "On a brighter note... to all of you that are coming to Graceland for our popular Elegant Southern Style in March, I’m looking forward to seeing you. Let’s have some fun!!"

In the last few weeks, several stories have surfaced claiming that Priscilla was starting to "really slow down." In the report, a source close to the star allegedly told a news outlet that she had "been forgetting a lot lately and that her mind would suddenly drift off while she was talking." Also, it claimed she was "forgetting what she was saying mid-sentence."

But, Presley says she is fine and everything is going great at Graceland. Fans of the Presley family are pumped that she is O.K. and are letting her know it on social media.

The best part is...one fan even made sure she knew just hot HOT she still is, saying, "So sad you have to deal with these terrible rumors! You are still looking hot! I would love to visit Memphis with my daughter!"

Speaking of daughters -- Lisa Marie Presley has made headlines in the past few months fighting two legal battles including an ex-manager who she blames for losing most of the Elvis fortune. Plus, she is at war with her ex-husband over custody of their kids.

Bottom line -- It's great mom is ok, Lisa may need some moral support as the cases unfold.
