Born at the height of Elvis fame in 1968, Lisa Marie Presley grew up in the limelight as the daughter of the man celebrated as “The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.”
Elvis and Priscilla Presley separated in 1972 when their daughter was 4, and she was only 9 when her father died in 1977.
Soon, she began acting and experimenting with drugs, which led her mother to send her to a series of private schools, including boarding school in Ojai, California.
Presley then launched his career in 2003 with a debut studio album, “To Whom It May Concern,” which peaked at number five on the Billboard 200 album chart and was certified gold that summer. She wrote almost all of the lyrics on the album and co-wrote every melody.
Along with her musical activities, Presley had been married four times: first to musician Danny Keough, then to singer Michael Jackson, Nicholas Cage and finally Michael Lockwood. She had four children: Riley Keough, Benjamin Keough, Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood and Finley Aaron Love Lockwood.
In 2020, 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.
In September, Presley wrote an essay for National Bereavement Awareness Day, in which she opened up about the loss of her son.
“My life and that of my three daughters as we knew it was completely detonated and destroyed by his death. We live in this every. Alone. day,” she wrote. “Grief is something you will have to carry with you for the rest of your life, despite what some people or our culture would have us believe. You don’t ‘move on’, you don’t ‘move on’. “, period. “
