Singer Elvis Perkins remembers his mom, 20 years after her death

[@evypeace03]

Has his father's smile. So happy he and his brother are doing so well. ❤️

[@M.Kpunkt]

Hello Evelyn.. That's exactly what I thought when I saw him talking and smiling. I can't begin to imagine how he and his brother must have felt. Especially at the time when the attacks had already happened, but no one in the family knew exactly whether it affected them. What might all this be about fear, hope, prayers and inner turmoil. On the one hand you are overcome with bitter sadness because you know it's true and on the other hand the faint, surmounting hope that your relative or friend missed his flight "" this flight""" or for some reason was not on board as planned. I find it particularly sad and moving that Elvis' father, Anthony Perkins, passed away on September 12!!! 1992!!!! - so 8 years and 364 days after the anniversary of his father's death he had to die this senseless and cruel death. This has been going through my head over and over again for years. And although I live here - in Germany, far away - so sorry for my bad English - this unbelievable act of violence moves me in an unbelievable way. I've dealt with this a lot and it feels awful. I'm not a believer, but I always feel a kind of prayer, especially when it's about sacrifice so specifically, and here one I'm very familiar with. I hope for Oz and Elvis only good things await them in their future lives. Only things that make them happy or at least content with themselves and the world because they have already reached the upper end of fateful cruelties... I'm very happy to have come across this interview, because that 'Anthony smile' touches something in me. Since I was a very big fan of his 'Daddy' and nin (it's certainly no longer necessary to mention it) and couldn't see any external resemblance on photos, i.e. still pictures, it now leaves a feeling of: something remains receive; arise in me... All the best for you and for every person in this world. I hope: Love is mightier than war and hate ✨✨✨🏩💒⛪🕌 + 🛐🙏🤲 = 💔❤️‍🩹❤️✨✨✨

What a beautiful son. Love this song he created in his mother's Honor.

[@nicholasprakash3411]

Sad that he lost both his dad and mom tragically.

[@Da1Dez]

He looks so much like Anthony.

[@mattbernabe]

He does! In fact both son's (Elvis and Oz) resemble a lot from their Dad.

[@handmadeDenver]

I absolutely love that he recalled her trying to contact Otis Redding during a séance and then next says, "I wouldn't be surprised if she was with us in the this room in some way." Still such a close bond. I have really enjoyed his album.

[@Dessie716]

awe hes a ray of sunshine remembering his mother that way but if i may not to take the spot light off a beautiful woman but i cant help but hear his dad when he speaks wow yes a beautiful combo of them both! both he and his brother deserve every ounce of appreciation good thing blessing grace all that their careers bring them or come their way

[@beachchaos1863]

Exactly

[@heathermiller5765]

I heard it as well 🥹

[@amywhite9972]

He looks like his dad. His mom played in a Steven King movie. The 80's movie about the cats. I never knew she died in 9-11 until i found the flight 11 tribute video. So sad.. 💔

[@MissLizaMay]

She was never in a Stephen King movie.

[@HeyMJ.]

Thank you for Elvis Perkins’ interview & 9/11 memorial tribute to Berry Berenson-Perkins. It was a very good intro to Elvis Ps’ music and Berry BPs’ much-missed shining, soulful presence. 🕊

[@crystalsherman8896]

His father was Anthony Perkins. His brother is Oz Perkins who starred in Legally blonde. His parents died 9 years and 1 day apart. Wow

[@Pipsquacky]

A lovely tribute. Thanks for sharing her story. 🌸

[@Claro1993]

What’s a little eerie is that it’s a day shy of her husbands 9th death anniversary.

[@MC32595]

oh right, I didn’t even realize that. it’s also coincidence that anthony passed on september 12th because that was his late mother’s birthday.

[@ES-is4yp]

For me, the song "Ash Wednesday" evokes 9/11 in the most profound, poetic, and personal way. I have never not cried listening to it. Beautiful, poignant, and haunting.

[@Miss.RubyGame]

Talented lovely songs he is so handsome looks like his father well way better

[@Franaflyby]

I think that is so cool that he loves and honors his mother. 💔❤️💔❤️💔❤️💔❤️💔 It's how it should be.

[@mvarney-n3v]

she was the kindest person

[@chadchesney3858]

Yes he favors his father. Even his arm movement and the way he sits. Think I’ll check out his music.

[@enjoizfinezt2429]

His answer for the 9/11 Memorial was so sincere & forthcoming, honest. *** (side note) my neighbors are blaring Love Affair, Evelasting love @6:55am on a Sunday😑

[@douggherkin]

You can see his Dad in him very much.

[@paul2019monte]

Interesting artist. I bet his Mother approves 💐

[@AbbeBuck]

“The Sweetest of the Sweet and The Coolest of the Cool”. And she is with El and Oz.

[@michaeld.williamsiii9026]

Really moving interview, so sad and sorry about his loss. I lost a parent also along with being in foster care before, being ultimately adopted. The grief, hole in my life, and sadness I still feel...😥🌇💫 #NeverForget

[@lorrainepurmort4283]

Looks like his Dad

Very amazing story wow very sad day 911

[@jimsteele3423]

You are amazing person Elvis Perkins

[@soulheaven1964]

He didn’t talk about his dad ?

[@ryanrose1565]

What a tradegy this man experience

[@larryloveless2967]

Also extroadinary is that Anthony Perkins was gay yet I read Berry Berenson was the love of his life along with his family. I came across her reading of the life of Anthony Perkins who feared if it had becomre known was gay during the 1950s and 1960s woud have found it to be very difficult for work opportunity. Berry Berennson I have read was sure someone special and this was a great tribute to his mom.

[@larrywakeman4371]

What about Tony?

[@Threeleebird]

He is talking about his mother because it is the anniversary of her death. His father didn't die in 9/11 like she did, so they don't share the same anniversary.

[@user-lb9lb1sg6f]

Wish him in dearland would come out with some new stuff

[@myahollandia3552]

So tragic 😥 he lost his father and mother

[@rachelglittenberg3310]

What an amazing guy. She was so something, his beautiful mum, Berry.

[@noname-nobody1247]

*ABBA YAH has made me see another day and I am lovingly here to remind the inhabitants of the world to know that ABBA FATHER loves us all very much ❤️ that He sent His only BEGOTTEN son **_Yahushua Jesus_** to die for us **_John 3:16_** . ABBA YAH doesn't want to see anyone perish. Believe in His son Yahushua HaMashiach Jesus the Messiah so that you will have eternal life with ABBA and escape eternal damnation when He returns to judge the world. Let us do our parts as children of the light by sharing the good news of the crucifixion of Yahushua Jesus everywhere so that lost souls can turn away from a life of iniquity into a life of holiness with the help of the Holy Spirit. **_MARANATHA 🔥 BARUCH HABA BESHEM ADONAI - BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD_** .

[@PatrickSmith-hl5wx]

cool dude, shame he hasn't realised it was an inside job. I kind of get the feeling he knows but is not explicit saying it though

[@Stefanie2530]

Because he didn't feel her spirit at the 9/11 memorial?
