«It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has passed awaymother Priscilla Presley said in a statement. “She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman she has ever known.”

Just three days ago Presley had attended the award ceremony of the Golden Globes, and the award ceremony of the actor Austin Butler for his father’s interpretation in the film «Elvis».

Born in Memphis on February 1, 1968, exactly nine months after Elvis and Priscilla’s wedding, Lisa Marie moved to Los Angeles at age 4 with her mother following her parents’ divorce in 1973. Elvis died in August of 1977 when Lisa Marie was 9 years old, making her the joint heir to her estate along with her grandfather Vernon Presley and great-grandmother Minnie Mae Hood Presley. After her respective deaths in 1979 and 1980, she became her sole heiress and also inherited her father’s Graceland mansion.

In 1988 Lisa Marie marries Danny Keough, a Chicago musician, with whom she has two children: a daughter Riley in 1989 and Benjamin in 1992. After five and a half years of marriage, the couple divorced in May 1994. Less than a month later, Lisa Marie marries singer Michael Jackson, whom he first met at one of his late father’s concerts in Las Vegas when he was 7 when the King of Pop was still a member of the Jackson Five. The two had no children during their two-year marriage. The couple divorced in 1995.

In 2000, Lisa Marie became engaged to Hawaiian-born musician John Oszajca, though the relationship ended when she met actor Nicolas Cage at a birthday party for Johnny Ramone in 2000. Two years later, Lisa Marie and Cage were married during a secret ceremony in Hawaii on the 25th anniversary of Elvis’ death. However, less than four months later their marriage ends.

A fourth marriage came in 2006 to Michael Lockwood, with whom Lisa Marie welcomed twin daughters, Harper and Finley, two years later. However, Lisa Marie filed for divorce, in June 2016, which was finalized in 2021. Since their separation, the two have been involved in an ongoing battle over custody of the children.

In 2020, Lisa Marie’s son Benjamin commits suicide on his 28th birthday.
