Lisa Marie Presley, singer, and daughter of Elvis, dies at 54
On Tuesday, she went to the Golden Globes to celebrate Austin Butler’s win for playing her father. Just a few days before, she was in Memphis at Graceland, where Elvis lived and died on January 8, to celebrate the anniversary of her father’s birth.
Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of Elvis and a singer, died Thursday (January 12) after being hospitalized for a medical emergency. She was the only child of Elvis and worked hard to keep her father’s legacy alive. She turned 54.
Her mother, Priscilla, told the world that Presley had died.
Priscilla Presley said, “It breaks my heart to have to tell you that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has died.” “She was the most strong, loving, and passionate woman I’ve ever met.”

Lisa Marie Presley was the only child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley. She had her father’s dark charm—the hooded eyes, the arrogant smile, and the low, seductive voice—and she followed in his professional footsteps, releasing her rock albums in the 2000s and performing on stage with Pat Benatar and Richard Hawley, among others.
She even sang on Elvis’s recordings of “In the Ghetto” and “Don’t Cry Daddy,” a sad song that reminded him of the early death of his mother, Lisa Marie’s grandmother Gladys Presley.
In 2012, she told Associated Press (AP) that her father had been a big part of her life. “I don’t listen to it anymore, and it’s different. Even though I might pay more attention. I’ve always been a fan. He has always made me think.”
Her birth, precisely nine months after her parents got married, was big news worldwide, and her background was always on her mind. Since Baz Luhrmann’s big musical film, Elvis came out last year, Lisa Marie and Priscilla Presley have been going to red carpets, and award shows with stars from the film.
On Tuesday, she went to the Golden Globes to celebrate Austin Butler’s win for playing her father. Just a few days before, she was in Memphis at Graceland, where Elvis lived and died on January 8, to celebrate the anniversary of her father’s birth.
After her parents broke up in 1973, Lisa Marie moved to California to live with her mother, an actor in movies like “Dallas” and “The Naked Gun.” During her trips to Graceland, she thought about early memories of her dad, like riding golf carts through the neighborhood and seeing him come down the stairs every day.
“He was always ready for anything. You’d never see him coming down the stairs in his pyjamas; she told AP in 2012.
“You’d never see him in anything other than clothes he was ready to show off.”
In August 1977, when Elvis Presley died, he was only 42 years old, and she was only 9. Lisa Marie was staying at Graceland then, and she remembered he kissed her goodnight a few hours before he passed out and died. The next day, when she saw him again, he was lying on his back in the bathroom.
She told Rolling Stone in 2003, “I just felt it.” “He was having trouble. All I know is that I had a feeling it would happen, and it did. I was crazy about death from a very young age.” She would be in the news herself in the future. He has had problems with drugs and has been married in public. Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage were two of her four husbands.
Jackson and Presley married in the Dominican Republic in 1994 but split up two years later. During their marriage, Jackson gave Presley an unexpected kiss at the MTV Video Music Awards. In a joint interview with Diane Sawyer, Presley’s wife defended him against claims that he had sexually abused a child.
Cage filed for divorce in 2002 after only four months of marriage. This was her second marriage to a famous person.
