Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis – American rock and roll legend and actor who died at 42 in 1977 – has died.
The singer, who was 54, died after being hospitalized Thursday.
“My beloved daughter Lisa Marie was rushed to the hospital. She is now receiving the best care,” her mother Priscilla Presley said earlier. “Please keep her and our family in your prayers. We feel the prayers from around the world, and ask for privacy during this time.”
Presley had attended the Golden Globes on Tuesday to celebrate Austin Butler’s award for playing her father in Elvis.
During a red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight, she called the performance “mind-blowing.”
“I really didn’t know what to do with myself after I saw it,” she told ET. “I had to take, like, five days to process it because it was so incredible and so spot on and just so authentic that, yeah, I can’t even describe what it meant.”
On Jan. 8, she was at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee – the mansion where her father lived – to celebrate his birthday
Last August, Presley wrote an essay published in People about “the horrific reality” of her grief following her son Benjamin Keough’s death by suicide in 2020.
“I’ve dealt with death, grief and loss since the age of 9 years old. I’ve had more than anyone’s fair share of it in my lifetime and somehow, I’ve made it this far,” she penned.
Presley, once married to singer Michael Jackson, was also the mother of actor Riley Keough and twin daughters.
