Lisa Marie Presley, a singer-songwriter, Elvis’ only daughter and a dedicated keeper of her father’s legacy, died Thursday after being hospitalized for a medical emergency. She was 54.
Presley, the only child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, shared her father’s brooding charisma — the hooded eyes, the insolent smile, the low, sultry voice & followed him professionally, releasing her own rock albums in the 2000s.
She even formed direct musical ties with her father, joining her voice to such Elvis recordings as “In the Ghetto” and “Don’t Cry Daddy,” a mournful ballad which had reminded him of the early death of his mother (and Lisa Marie’s grandmother), Gladys Presley.
Elvis Presley died in August 1977, when he was just 42, and she 9 years old. Lisa Marie was staying at Graceland at the time and would recall him kissing her goodnight hours before he would collapse and never recover. When she next saw him, the following day, he was lying face down in the bathroom.
She would later make headlines of her own. Struggles with drugs and some very public marriages. Her 4 husbands included Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage.
Jackson & Presley were married in the Dominican Republic in 1994, but the marriage ended 7 years later and was defined by numerous awkward public appearances, including an unexpected kiss from Jackson during the MTV Video Music Awards & a joint interview with Diane Sawyer when she defended her husband against allegations he had sexually abused a minor.
