The untimely passing of Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of renowned rock artist Elvis Presley and actress Priscilla Presley, has left fans in shock. Lisa Marie had a heart collapse on January 12, according to TMZ, and was taken to the hospital right away. This was unexpected because she had just been to the 2023 Golden Globes Awards event.
Priscilla verified her daughter’s death that same evening. She told People, “I must deliver the heartbreaking news that my darling daughter Lisa Marie has left us with a heavy heart. “I have never met a lady who was as passionate, strong and loving as she was. We request discretion as we work to process this tragic loss. Thank you for your prayers and kindness. No more commentary will be made at this time.”
Fans flocked to Lisa Marie’s social media accounts right away to wish her well. One supporter commented, “A portion of America has died with you tonight.” A different message said, “Rest in Peace you wonderful human, you’re with your loved ones you missed so terribly now.” She may already be dating Elvis, as well as her late son Benjamin Keough, several admirers have also noted. “I’m sending my love to your family and friends. I’m aware that you’re all present “a supporter said. Tragically, condolences from admirers were posted under Lisa Marie’s final Instagram post, which was entirely about her kid.
The last Instagram post by Lisa Marie Presley was a screenshot of the article she wrote for People about grieving the loss of her son, Benjamin Keough. Keough committed suicide in 2020 when he was 27 years old. Lisa Marie was “totally crushed, inconsolable and beyond sad,” according to a representative for her who spoke to CNN at the time. However, the contact said, “she’s trying to be strong for her 11-year-old twins and her oldest daughter Riley.” The representative emphasized Lisa Marie’s “adoration” for that youngster and the fact that she saw him as “the love of her life.”
Lisa Marie didn’t go into great detail about her son’s passing until two years had passed. Although it has been years since Keough passed away, she admitted that losing him was her “worst nightmare” in her moving article. She also said that while finding support can occasionally make you feel a little less alone, sadness does not stop or go away in any manner.
On National Grief Awareness Day in 2022, she shared the post on her Instagram profile in an effort to assist more people who were hurting. In the hopes that someone who needs to hear all of this would find some solace, she thought she’d put it here. Vicky Cornell, the late singer Chris Cornell’s wife, was among the first fans to express their gratitude, writing, “Everything you write hits home- for those of us who have endured heartbreaking loss and suffering.”
Following Benjamin Keough’s passing, musician Brandon Howard, a friend of the late artist, said to People that Keough “struggled with depression” and found it difficult to live up to the Presley tradition. That kind of pressure, according to Howard, “is clearly a part of what happened.” “When you’re under a lot of pressure from your family and from maintaining a certain name and reputation, it might be difficult. It almost feels like you’re under pressure to be an actor or musician.”
Lisa Marie Presley said in an editorial for the same publication that she couldn’t help but take responsibility for her son’s death. Others will judge and blame you too, even privately or behind your back, which is even more harsh and hurtful on top of everything else, the author wrote. “I already battle with and beat myself up tirelessly and chronically, condemning myself every single day and that’s hard enough to live with now.
Lisa Marie, who naturally withdrew from the public eye after Keough’s passing, admitted that she was still “navigating through this hideous grief that absolutely destroyed and shattered my heart and my soul into almost nothing has swallowed me whole” when she appeared on Instagram in 2022 to support the “Elvis” movie.
However, Lisa Marie took solace in the knowledge that she and Keough had identical tattoos, signifying their lifelong bond. “On Mother’s Day a few years ago, my son and I each received these coordinating tattoos on our foot. The knot is a Celtic eternit knot “she stated in a tweet from July 2022. We chose it deliberately to stand for our enduring love and enduring commitment.
