Priscilla Presley and Riley Keough recently shared touching tributes on social media to honor the late Lisa Marie Presley on what would have been her 56th birthday. Lisa Marie, the daughter of rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley, passed away suddenly at the age of 54 more than a year ago.
Priscilla Presley, an actress and Lisa Marie's mother, posted a heartfelt message alongside a throwback photo of them together on Instagram. She expressed her longing for her daughter, referring to her affectionately as 'Yisa'. Priscilla described Lisa Marie as young at heart yet an old soul, capturing the essence of her unique personality.
Similarly, Lisa Marie's daughter Riley Keough, an actress known for her role in 'Mad Max: Fury Road,' took to her own Instagram account to pay tribute to her mother. She shared an old photo of Lisa Marie, simply captioning it with 'Happy Birthday mama.' The snapshot captured Lisa Marie's radiant smile against the backdrop of city lights, emphasizing her vibrant spirit.
Priscilla and Riley also commemorated the first anniversary of Lisa Marie's passing last month. The family has endured trying times following her death. Priscilla initially contested the validity of Lisa Marie's will, but eventually reached a settlement with Riley in June 2023. Riley agreed to pay Priscilla over $1 million to become the sole trustee of Lisa Marie's estate, along with an additional $400,000 to cover legal fees.
Lisa Marie's cause of death was identified as sequelae of small bowel obstruction, secondary to adhesions that developed after bariatric surgery. Her passing was mourned by countless fans and family members alike, as she left behind a lasting legacy both as the daughter of a music icon and through her own musical career.
Despite the challenges, Riley Keough is now preparing to release her mother's memoir, which Lisa Marie was working on before her untimely death. Riley spoke about the privilege and bittersweet experience of working on the autobiography, as it gives readers an opportunity to know Lisa Marie beyond her role as Elvis's daughter. Riley expressed her hope that readers will come to love her mother as much as she did.
The tributes from Priscilla Presley and Riley Keough demonstrate the enduring love and admiration they hold for Lisa Marie Presley. As they honor her memory through photos, heartfelt messages, and the forthcoming memoir, fans of the Presley family can continue to celebrate the life and legacy of a beloved daughter and musician who touched the hearts of many.
