David Foster honored Lisa Marie Presley in a recent interview days after the musician’s death.
Lisa Marie died at a hospital in Los Angeles on Thursday after authorities responded to a “not breathing call” from her Calabasas home.
Foster spoke about working with Lisa Marie during an interview with People magazine.
“I clearly remember the day we were in the studio together doing a duet with her father, ‘Don’t Cry Daddy,’ which was kind of profound in its own way, that she would be singing a duet with her father,” Foster told the outlet. “She just was a hard worker and infectious and fun and irreverent.”

The Canadian musician admitted he “liked her music” and explained he “thought her music was cool.”
“I don’t know how to make that kind of music, but she loved that music, and she made us love it too. So I appreciated her as an artist.”
Foster remembered Lisa Marie as “iconic.”
“It’s a hell of a burden to carry around, to be Elvis’ daughter, and I think she wore it really well. I mean, obviously, the struggles that she had are well documented, but who knows what it was like to walk in her shoes?… She was iconic in her own right.”
