Lisa Marie Presley, a singer and the lone child of the late Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, passed away on Thursday, hours after being admitted to the hospital for what seemed to be a heart arrest, according to her mother. She was 54 years old.
Priscilla Presley and the Presley family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Lisa Marie.
The last time Lisa Marie Presley was spotted was on Tuesday night at the Golden Globe Awards, where she went with her mother to support the Baz Luhrmann movie “Elvis,” which is about her late father.
In 2020, Lisa Marie Presley’s son Benjamin Keough died by suicide at the age of 27. In July of last year, she posted a picture of their matching foot tattoos on Instagram to commemorate the second anniversary of Keough’s passing.
Lisa Marie Presley has three other children: actress Riley Keough, Finley Aaron Love Lockwood, and Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood. She has also been married to Michael Lockwood, Nicolas Cage, Michael Jackson, and Danny Keough.
In September, Lisa Marie Presley wrote an essay for National Grief Awareness Day, in which she opened up about the loss of her son.
“Grief is something you will have to carry with you for the rest of your life, in spite of what certain people or our culture wants us to believe. You do not ‘get over it,’ you do not ‘move on,’ period” she wrote.
Lisa Marie Presley also said in the essay that she found comfort in the company of people who have faced similar tragedy, adding that her daughters help keep her going.
“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.”
