Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, will be laid to rest at Graceland, her dad’s legendary mansion.
According to Riley Keough’s publicist, the singer-ultimate songwriter’s resting place will be adjacent to her loving son, Benjamin Keough, who died in 2020. Elvis and other Presley family members are also buried at Graceland.
Lisa Marie was brought to a hospital in Los Angeles on Thursday after sheriff’s officers responded to a “not breathing call,” according to officials.
The terrible demise of their beloved Lisa Marie has surprised and upset Priscilla Presley and the Presley family, Priscilla’s agent said in a statement. They are very appreciative for everybody’s love, support, and prayers during this extremely hard time.
Lisa Marie did not reside in Memphis, where she was born, but she frequently returned to remember her late father during festivals. She was most recently in Memphis on January 8, the Sunday before her death, to mark what would have been the “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s” 88th birthday.
Elvis Presley resided at Graceland from June 26, 1957, through August 16, 1977.
Priscilla and two executors chose to turn the iconic 23-room mansion and over 14 acres of grounds into a museum in 1981.
Their objective was to keep the estate running and Elvis’ legacy alive.
According to the official Graceland website, Lisa Marie became the sole heir to Elvis’ beloved Graceland estate upon his death, as well as the deaths of his dad, Vernon Presley, and grandmother, Minnie Mae Presley.
Graceland is now under a trust that will benefit Lisa Marie’s kids.
Presley is survived by her mom, Priscilla, Riley, 33, and twins Harper and Finley Lockwood, 14 years old.
Lisa Marie’s late son Benjamin’s untimely death in 2020 was eventually judged a suicide by shooting, leaving his family to mourn the unexpected and sudden loss.
Fans came from all over to commemorate Lisa Marie’s life at Graceland in Memphis, putting flowers near the home and leaving sweet words on a graffiti wall. According to one message, she is currently living with her dad, Elvis.
“I’ve been a huge Elvis fan since I was a youngster. I believe I cried the day he died,” one admirer said.
“Lisa Marie has been famous since she was born… Last night, I learned the tragic news… We decided to pause and pay our respects to Lisa… She’s about my age… It’s a depressing idea when individuals your own age die, which is why we’re here… to pay homage to Lisa Marie and her father.”
