Remembering Lisa Marie Presley

Graceland will be the final resting place for singer Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of the late Elvis and Priscilla Presley, according to a family spokesperson.

Elvis Presley once lived in the sprawling Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, and his daughter inherited the property after his death. It now serves as a museum.

Presley died Thursday, hours after being hospitalized following an apparent cardiac arrest.

Tom Hanks, who starred as Elvis Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, in the biographical film "Elvis," posted a tribute message to Lisa Marie Presley.

"We are heartbroken over the loss of Lisa Marie Presley. Absolutely broken…," Hanks wrote in a caption of a photo of Presley, signed by Hanks and his wife, actress Rita Wilson.

Born at the height of Elvis’s fame in 1968, Lisa Marie Presley was seen as the princess to the man celebrated as “the King of rock ‘n’ roll.”

Elvis and Priscilla Presley separated in 1972 when their daughter was four years old, and she was only nine when her father died in 1977. He was 42.

Soon, she began acting out and experimenting with drugs, resulting in her mother sending her to a series of private schools, including a boarding school in Ojai.

“I had a real self-destructive mode for a while,” she told the publication. “I never really fit into school. I didn’t really have any direction.”

Lisa Marie Presley was seen at Tuesday's Golden Globe Awards ceremony in Los Angeles.

She was there with her mother, Priscilla, as actor Austin Butler won an award for best actor in "Elvis" for his portrayal of Presley from adolescence to his untimely death at age 42. 

Butler thanked the Presley family in his speech.

"Thank you guys for opening your hearts, your memories, your home to me. Lisa Marie, Priscilla, I love you forever," he said.

Parallel to her musical pursuits, Lisa Marie Presley was married four times, including to music superstar Michael Jackson and actor Nicolas Cage.

She wed musician Danny Keough in 1988, with whom she had a daughter, Riley Keough, and son Benjamin Storm Keough.

The pair divorced in May 1994, and roughly three weeks later, Lisa Marie married Jackson in a ceremony that made headlines worldwide.

She noted of Jackson in a 2003 interview with ABC News and Diane Sawyer: “When he wants to lock into you, when he wants to intrigue you or capture you, or you know, whatever he wants to do with you, he can do it.” She added that she “fell into this whole, ‘You poor, sweet, misunderstood man, I’m going to save you.’ … I fell in love with him.”

Their marriage ended in January 1996.

Two years later, she wed Cage after meeting him at a party, but only stayed married to him for three months, from August to November of 2002. The divorce was finalized in 2004.

Her fourth marriage came in 2006, to her guitarist, music producer and director Michael Lockwood. The pair welcomed twins Finley Aaron Love Lockwood and Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood in 2008. They divorced in 2016.

Presley died Thursday after suffering an apparent cardiac arrest. She was 54.

In 2020, Lisa Marie Presley’s son Benjamin Keough died by suicide at the age of 27. Last July, she marked the second anniversary of Keough’s death on Instagram, sharing a photo of their matching foot tattoos.

Last September, she wrote an essay for National Grief Awareness Day, in which she opened up about the loss of her son.

Presley also said in the essay that she found comfort in the company of people who have faced similar tragedies adding that her daughters help keep her grounded.

“I keep going for my girls,” she wrote. “I keep going because my son made it very clear in his final moments that taking care of his little sisters and looking out for them were on the forefront of his concerns and his mind. He absolutely adored them and they him.”

Lisa Marie Presley, who died Thursday at age 54, was the eventual sole heir to her father Elvis’ estate, as well as his sprawling Memphis, Tennessee mansion, Graceland.

Her father’s mighty and ever-looming legacy didn’t, however, steer her away from her desire to pursue a career in music in her own right.

Lisa Marie launched her career in 2003 with a debut studio album, “To Whom It May Concern,” which reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and was certified gold that summer. She wrote almost all the lyrics on the album and co-wrote every melody.

At the time, Lisa Marie told Larry King she had to “park” feelings of pressure and comparisons to her legendary dad.

Also around the same time, Lisa Marie reflected on whether her famous name was a hindrance or a help, telling Playboy she didn’t “ask tabloids to chase me around every week.”

But, she added, she “would never take back any part of who I am or where I came from.”

That first record was followed by two additional albums, 2005’s “Now What” and “Storm & Grace” in 2012.

LeAnn Rimes, Octavia Spencer, Seán Ono Lennon and many others are remembering Lisa Marie Presley. Here are some tributes that have come in so far.
