In the wake of Lisa Marie's death, her brother, Navarone, is speaking out about his life and family.
Navarone's peaceful, and largely anonymous, life in Santa Cruz came to an end in 2008, when a tabloid discovered he was growing marijuana at his home.Four years later, Navarone was back in Los Angeles, pursuing a music career with his Santa Cruz-formed, synth rock band, Them Guns.
It wasn't until decades later, though, when Navarone decided to call up someone who'd reached out claiming to be his cousin, that the musician learned his father was not from a wealthy Italian family, but rather a Brazil native who changed his last name from Garcia to Garibaldi upon his arrival to the U.S. after being told he'd never make it in Hollywood with a Hispanic moniker.
"My family there didn't know I had a drug problem, and I was so ashamed to tell them," he says."I promised I wouldn't come back again until my problem was resolved."
