He was 9 years old when his father died
Born in Tennessee in 1968, Lisa Marie was only 9 years old when her father passed away – something she never quite got over – making her the heir (along with her grandfather and great-grandmother) to the immense fortune of the unforgettable rock legend.
Heiress to a large fortune
An estate valued at more than 100 million euros that he disposed of in 2005, keeping only control of Elvis’ mythical residence, Graceland.
Recorded four albums
Following in her progenitor’s footsteps, Lisa Marie tried her hand at music and recorded four albums over the course of her career: ‘Don’t Cry Daddy’ in 1997 as a duet with her father’s voice; ‘To Whom It May Concern’ in 2003; ‘Now What’ in 2005; and ‘Storm & Grace’ in 2012.
Convulsive personal life
However, if there was one thing Elvis’ daughter was notorious for, it was for her turbulent personal life, as she was married and divorced four times.
First marriage
When she was only 20 years old, she married musician Danny Keough, with whom she had two children, Riley (in the picture) – also an actress – and Benjamin.
Benjamin’s suicide
Benjamin committed suicide at the age of 20, a tragedy that deeply marked the artist and left her, as she herself confessed, «destroyed».
18 months with the King of Pop
Days after their separation became official, Lisa Marie surprised the world by marrying Michael Jackson, a union that always followed the shadow of a montage because it arose when the accusations of pederasty against the King of Pop began. Their love story lasted only 18 months.
Wedding in Hawaii
On August 10, 2002, the singer walked down the aisle with actor Nicolas Cage at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bugalows in Hawaii, in an intimate ceremony in the presence of her closest family and friends.
«Irreconcilable differences»
She divorced Nicolas Cage just three months after the wedding over what they called «irreconcilable differences.» When Elvis’ daughter confirmed the breakup, she said, «I’m very sad about what happened. As far as we are concerned, we shouldn’t have gotten married. It was a big mistake.
Her last husband
In 2006, she married her last husband, producer Michael Lockwood, with whom she had twin daughters Harper and Finley in 2008. In 2016 Lisa Marie filed for divorce.
In Scientology until 2014
A life marked by Scientology – his refuge for two decades, although he disassociated himself from this ‘religion’ in 2014 – and by his addiction to opioids, which he had allegedly overcome some years ago.
Supported Austin Butler at the Golden Globes
Lisa Marie’s last public appearance was just three days ago, at the Golden Globe Awards, where she was accompanied by her mother, Priscilla Presley, to support the nomination of Austin Butler – who eventually won the statuette for Best Actor – as Elvis in Baz Luhrmann’s film.
