Lisa Marie Presley married and divorced musician Danny Keough, pop star Michael Jackson, actor Nicolas Cage, and music producer Michael Lockwood, respectively. The mother of four children, Presley had experienced many tragedies.
Singer Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of the "King of Rock and Roll" Elvis Presley, who died at the age of 42, also died at the age of 54 from a heart attack.
Lisa Marie Presley (February 1, 1968 – January 12, 2023) was an American singer and songwriter. She was the only child of singer and actor Elvis Presley and actress Priscilla Presley, as well as the sole heir to her father's estate after her grandfather and her great-grandmother died.
The legendary voice of rock music, American singer Elvis Presley died in 1977 at the age of 42. Doctors said that the "King of Rock N Roll" died of a heart attack caused by addiction to prescription drugs he was taking. Singer Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis Presley, died of a heart attack at the age of 54 on the evening of January 12, 2023. It was stated that Lisa Marie Presley was found immobile in her home in Calabasas, California, which she shared with her first husband, Danny Keough, by a janitor. It is reported that Keough gave Presley CPR until the paramedics arrived, but Presley, who was taken to the hospital, could not be saved.
Genetic disorder
Lisa Marie Presley's mother, Priscilla Presley (77), announced her daughter's death, saying, "We have lost the most passionate, strong, and loving woman I have ever known. We ask for privacy as we try to cope with this profound loss. Thanks for the love and prayers,” she said. It was claimed that Lisa Marie, who walked by holding the arms of the people next to her at the Golden Globe Awards, which she attended three days ago, has a genetic heart condition inherited from her family. It is claimed that Elvis Presley's close relatives, grandparents, and having children caused health problems in later generations. Elvis Presley's mother, Gladys, also died of heart failure at the age of 46. Gladys had 3 siblings who each died in their 40s from heart failure or lung complications. These deaths are thought to have been caused by alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, a genetic disorder that causes health problems.
Lost most of his legacy
Lisa Marie Presley lost most of her father's $100 million fortune after hiring Barry Siegel as business manager. In 2005, Siegel sold his 85 percent stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises, which manages Lisa Marie's father's assets. Lisa Marie, therefore, lost control of her father's naming and image rights. Presley sued Siegel in 2018, accusing him of mismanaging his inheritance and charging him $16 million. Presley was also in court with his last wife, Michael Lockwood, who wanted $40,000 a month for his twin daughters.
She couldn't recover when she lost his son
Lisa Marie Presley married and divorced musician Danny Keough, pop star Michael Jackson, actor Nicolas Cage, and music producer Michael Lockwood, respectively. Presley, who has 4 children from these marriages, could not recover after the suicide of his son Benjamin Keough (28) in 2020. Losing her father, Elvis Presley, when she was only 9 years old and traumatized when she encountered his lifeless body lying on the ground, Lisa Marie had struggled with drug and drug addiction throughout her life. Michael Jackson, the second wife of Lisa Marie, whose fame she met very early because of her father's fame, did not bring happiness, also died of drug poisoning in 2009 at the age of 51.
