Lisa Marie Presley was born on February 1, 1968,[1] the only daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, atBaptist Memorial Hospital-Memphis inMemphis, Tennessee,[2] nine months to the day after her parents' wedding. After her parents divorced, she lived with her mother in Los Angeles, and frequently stayed with her father Elvis atGraceland inMemphis.[3]
Presley's parents separated when she was four years old. When her father died in August 1977, nine-year-old Lisa Marie became jointheiress to his estate with her 61-year-old grandfather, Vernon Presley, and her 87-year-old great-grandmother Minnie Mae (Hood) Presley. Through Vernon, Lisa Marie was a descendant of theHarrison family of Virginia.[4] Upon the deaths of her grandfather in 1979 and her great-grandmother in 1980, she became Elvis' sole heir; on her 25th birthday in 1993, she inherited the estate, which had grown to an estimated $100 million. Presley sold 85 percent of Elvis Presley Enterprises in 2004.[5][6]
In the late 1970s, a year or two after her father's death, she attended her first rock concert when she sawQueen atThe Forum inInglewood, California. She gaveFreddie Mercury a scarf of her father's after the show, and expressed her love of theatrics.[7]
Shortly after her father's death, her mother began dating the actorMichael Edwards. In an interview withPlayboy in 2003, Presley said Edwards would enter her room intoxicated and was sexually inappropriate with her.[8] InFrom Here to the Great Unknown, Presley repeated this allegation and stated that Edwardssexually assaulted her starting in 1978.[9]
She has a half-brother,Navarone Garibaldi, from her mother's 22-year relationship with Marco Garibaldi.
Presley made a video of "Don't Cry Daddy" as a posthumous duet with her father in 1997. This video was presented on August 16, 1997, at the tribute concert that marked the 20th anniversary of Elvis' death. The video contains Elvis' original vocal to which new instrumentation and Lisa Marie's vocals were added.[10]
Presley released her debut album,To Whom It May Concern, on April 8, 2003. It reached No. 5 on theBillboard 200 albums chart and was certified gold in June 2003. Presley wrote all the lyrics (except "The Road Between", which was co-written withGus Black) and co-wrote every melody. To promote it, she presented a concert in the UK. The album's first single, "Lights Out", reached No. 18 on theBillboardHot Adult Top 40 chart and No. 16 on the UK charts.[11] Presley collaborated withBilly Corgan for a co-written track called "Savior", which was included as theB-side.[12] In his review of the album, theLos Angeles Times critic Robert Hilburn wrote that it had "a stark, uncompromising tone" and that "Presley's gutsy blues-edged voice has a distinctive flair".[13]
Pat Benatar and Presley performed atVH1 Divas Duets, a concert to benefit the VH1Save the Music Foundation held at theMGM Grand Garden Arena on May 22, 2003, inLas Vegas. Together they sang Benatar's hit "Heartbreaker", which Presley frequently performed at her own concerts on tours afterward.[14] Also in 2003, Presley contributed a recording of "Silent Night" for the NBC Holiday Collection, Sounds of the Season.[15]
Presley's second album,Now What, was released on April 5, 2005, and reached No. 9 on theBillboard 200 albums chart.

The song "Idiot" is a jab towards different men in her life. Unlike her first album,Now What included aParental Advisory sticker. Presley coveredBlue Öyster Cult's "Burnin' for You" as a B-side.Pink made a guest appearance on the track "Shine".[17] The video for "Dirty Laundry" was directed byPatrick Hoelck and singerGeorge Michael made a cameo appearance in it.[18]

She sang vocals on a song the pair had been working on called "Weary".[27] Hawley wanted to help Presley relaunch her music career, and the two embarked on a songwriting partnership in which she wrote the lyrics and Hawley the music. In an interview withOprah Winfrey, Presley said that she was currently recording a new album in London, which was due to be released in 2011.[28][29]
Her third album,Storm & Grace, was released on May 15, 2012. She said: "It's much more of a rootsy record, organic record, than my previous work."[30] It is produced by Oscar and Grammy winnerT Bone Burnett.[31]AllMusic described the album as "a stronger, more mature, and more effective work than one might have expected" and noted "Presley is finally developing a musical personality that truly suits her".[32] Spinner.com described it as "the strongest album of her career" andEntertainment Weekly praised the "smoky, spooky" single "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet".[33][34]T-Bone Burnett said of collaborating with Presley onStorm & Grace (2012): "When songs from Lisa Marie Presley showed up at my door, I was curious. I wondered what the daughter of an American revolutionary music artist had to say. What I heard was honest, raw, unaffected and soulful. I thought her father would be proud of her. The more I listened to the songs, the deeper an artist I found her to be. Listening beyond the media static, Lisa Marie Presley is a Southern American folk music artist of great value."[35]
In 2018, Presley was featured on the title track of the compilation "Where No One Stands Alone", a collection of her father's gospel songs, which sold over 300 million copies. The song was reworked into a duet between Presley and her father. A music video for the song was released in which Presley is incorporated into scenes of her and her father.[36]

Presley joinedOprah Winfrey and herAngel Network and was active in therelief efforts after Hurricane Katrina devastatedNew Orleans and surrounding areas. Presley gave a helping hand in Memphis, Tennessee. "I'm here", she said, "because I definitely needed to do something, and it just so happens this is where I'm from. I'm going to do everything I can. People need help—this is a huge catastrophe and everyone needs to stand up." Her first stop was a food bank, where, with the help ofFedEx andKroger, Presley loaded a truck with groceries. Then it was time for a pit stop atTarget for toiletries and clothes. "I thought I was going to grab a couple things at the store", Presley said, "and I ended up filling up a truck. I went a little crazy."
Presley's final destination was theGrand Casino Convention Center in Mississippi to distribute the supplies to people who had lost everything. One evacuee said, "I really appreciate everything Ms. Presley is doing for us. We have nothing, so we're very grateful for everything she's doing."[44] In 2011 Presley became a patron of the Dream Factory, a charity based inHainault, London.[45][46]

In 2005, Presley allowed the public a brief look into her personal life, appearing in the TV movieElvis by the Presleys.[52]
Between 2010 and 2016, Presley lived in a 15th-century manor house inRotherfield, East Sussex, England, 15 miles east ofSaint Hill Manor, the British headquarters of the Church of Scientology.[53]
Presley publicly acknowledged her struggle withopioid addiction. She penned a foreword for a book titledUnited States of Opioids: A Prescription for Liberating a Nation in Pain (2019); in the foreword, she stated that she was prescribed opioids following the birth of her twin daughters in 2008 and became dependent upon them.[54] She had been using opioids again in the weeks prior to her death on January 12, 2023.[55]
On October 3, 1988, Presley married Chicago-born musician/actor Danny Keough at theScientology Celebrity Centre in Los Angeles.[1] They had dated for three years previously.[56] Their honeymoon was upon a cruise ship owned by theChurch of Scientology.[57][58] After an early abortion that Presley later claimed was "the stupidest thing she has ever done,"[59][60] the couple had two children: a daughter,Riley Keough (born May 29, 1989, atSaint John's Health Center inSanta Monica, California),[61][62] and a son, Benjamin Storm Keough (born October 21, 1992, at Humana Women's Hospital inTampa, Florida). Benjamin was delivered according to a Church of Scientology practice called "Silent birth".[63][64][65]
Presley obtained aquickie divorce in theDominican Republic on May 6, 1994.[66] Later that year, Keough considered seeking custody of their two children due to child molestation charges againstMichael Jackson, whom Presley married after their divorce.[67]
In a 2003 interview withThe Commercial Appeal, Presley commented on reports that she and Keough were planning to remarry: "Danny is my best friend, always has been, always will be. I love him unconditionally, but we are not together. It's not like that."[68] Keough and Presley became closer again after Presley divorced Michael Jackson.[69][70][71][72] In 2005, Danny Keough was a bass guitar player in Presley's band, and also served as her musical mentor.[73][74] Presley still regarded him as a close friend,[75][76] and he lived in the guest house on Presley's property.[76] Presley described her relationship with Keough after they separated: "I don't know how, but we've managed to stay close. There's others that I have pain or betrayal associated with that I won't have anything to do with. But he and I had a special thing. Unconditional."[76] Presley toldPeople in 2005 that she and Danny Keough were like brother and sister.[77] In addition, Presley commented on her relationship with Keough: "Ultimately this is a good message to send out to people: You don't have to put your crap on your kids even if you are not together. You can still be civilized."[77] Presley remained close friends with Danny Keough until her death in 2023 at the age of 54.[78]
Presley's daughter, Riley, married Ben Smith-Petersen in 2015. In 2022, their daughter Tupelo, Presley's grandchild, was born.[79]
Benjamin Keough died on July 12, 2020, at theage of 27[80] inCalabasas, California, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. TheLos Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office listed his death as a suicide.[81] Presley was distraught by her son's death, and was never the same afterward.[82]
On May 26, 1994, 20 days after her divorce from Keough, Presley married singerMichael Jackson.[83] Keough's younger brother Thomas Keough was an official witness at Presley's wedding to Jackson.[84] They had first met in 1974 when a six-year-old Presley attended his concert at theSahara Tahoe.[16] According to a friend of Presley's, "their adult friendship began in November 1992 in L.A."[85][86] Regarding alleged sexual abuse by Jackson, Presley explained, "I believed he didn't do anything wrong, and that he was wrongly accused and, yes, I started falling for him. I wanted to save him. I felt that I could do it."[87] Shortly afterwards, she successfully persuaded Jackson to settle the allegations out of court and go intorehabilitation to recover.[86] Presley appeared in Jackson's "You Are Not Alone" video in June 1995, directed byWayne Isham.[88]
In January 1996, citing irreconcilable differences, Presley filed for divorce, according to legal papers.[89][90] Jackson's make-up artist, Karen Faye, later claimed that Jackson had originally planned to file for divorce first and had relented after Presley begged him not to. The following day, Jackson discovered that Presley had filed for divorce herself.[91] In an October 2010 interview withOprah Winfrey, Presley revealed that she and Jackson had attempted to reconcile intermittently for four years following their divorce and that she had traveled to different parts of the world to be with him. AfterJackson's death in 2009 at the age of 50, Presley was reported to have "felt shattered".[92]
Presley clarified some points about her relationship with Michael Jackson during her 2010 interview with Oprah Winfrey. Talking about the years she was with him after their divorce, she stated: "We again, were going to get back together, we spent four more years after we’d divorced getting back together and breaking up and talking about getting back together and breaking up." During the same interview she also said about Jackson: "I felt like I just always wanted to be around him, always wanted to be part of – I felt so high. I’ve never felt like that around another human being..." Presley said she was the last person standing over Michael's casket: "Well, most people had left and I was the last one standing over him. I didn’t want to leave him."[citation needed]
In 2014, Lisa Marie Presley said in an interview withThe Sydney Morning Herald: "With MJ [Michael Jackson], unfortunately, too much happened, too much got between us. There was a very deep strong love there; intense. But people got in the way, on my end and his end. We had so many people telling us what to do and intercepting and speaking on behalf of the other. Had it been just he and I, towards the end, I don't think we would have divorced."[93] In her 2024 published memoir,From Here to the Great Unknown, Presley states, "I've never been that happy again", referring to her time with Jackson.[94]
In May 1999, Presley met musicianJohn Oszajca and got engaged to him two days before Christmas.[95][96] She broke off the engagement in March 2001, some five months after meetingNicolas Cage at a party.[97]
Presley's third marriage was to Nicolas Cage, whom she had met while in a relationship with Oszajca.[97][98] They married inKamuela, Hawaii, on August 10, 2002, and Cage filed for divorce 107 days later on November 25, 2002. The divorce was finalized on May 24, 2004.[99]
On January 22, 2006, inKyoto, Japan, Presley married for a fourth time, toMichael Lockwood, her guitarist, music producer, and director.[100] Danny Keough served as best man at the wedding. In March 2008, Presley announced that she was pregnant.[101] Her husband was a first-time father.[102] On October 7, 2008, Presley gave birth tofraternal twin girls Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood and Finley Aaron Love Lockwood,[103][104] viaCaesarean section, atLos Robles Hospital & Medical Center inThousand Oaks, California.[105] The couple had a home in England at Coes Manor,Rotherfield, East Sussex, where Presley enjoyed life out of the limelight.[106]In 2016, Presley filed for divorce from Lockwood after ten years of marriage.[107] In February 2017, the couple's children were placed in the temporary care ofPriscilla Presley after Lisa Presley alleged she found inappropriate images of children on Lockwood's personal computer in a divorce court filing challenging Lockwood's request for spousal support.[108][109] TheBeverly Hills Police Department investigated the allegations, examining over 80 electronic devices, and found no criminal activity and referred the matter to investigators in Tennessee.[110] Later in 2017, theTennessee Bureau of Investigations closed its investigation of the allegations made by Presley, citing no evidence of a crime.[111] The divorce was finalized on May 26, 2021.
Presley, along with friend and fellow Memphian and ScientologistIsaac Hayes, opened the Literacy, Education and Ability Program (LEAP) in October 1997. LEAP is run byApplied Scholastics, a group run by Scientologists.[112][113]
For her efforts to help US children learn study skills, Presley received the Humanitarian Award from the Church of Scientology-supportedWorld Literacy Crusade on January 5, 2002. Presley received her award from Isaac Hayes,Chaka Khan, andYolanda King, daughter ofMartin Luther King Jr.[114] World Literacy Crusade is regarded by critics as a front group for theChurch of Scientology.[115] On September 26 of that same year, Presley addressed aUS congressional hearing in opposition to the use of medication in treatingADHD, stating: "I have spoken to children who have been forced to take a cocaine-like stimulant to control their behavior. I have shared their sense of sheer desperation. Children have been wrenched from their family's care simply because their parents favored an alternative, drug-free approach to addressing educational and behavioral problems. The psychotropic drugging of millions of children has to stop."[116] Addressing the committee as the International Spokesperson for Children's Rights, for theCitizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), a group run by Scientologists, Presley expressed her view that parents should be informed about alternatives to drugs so they may "make an informed choice about their child's educational and medical needs".[117]
Presley left Scientology in 2014, though she had been experiencing growing discontent with the organization as early as 2008.[118]
After Elvis Presley's death at Graceland on August 16, 1977, his will appointed his father, Vernon Presley, executor and trustee. The beneficiaries of the trust were Vernon, Elvis's grandmother Minnie Mae Presley, and Lisa Marie, whose inheritance was to be held in trust until her 25th birthday.[119] After Vernon Presley's death in 1979, Elvis's former wife Priscilla Presley was named as one of three trustees in his will; the others were theNational Bank of Commerce in Memphis and Joseph Hanks, who had been the Presleys' accountant.[119] With Minnie Mae Presley's death in 1980, Lisa Marie became the only surviving beneficiary.[119]
In 1993, Presley inherited her father's estate on her 25th birthday, which, thanks largely to the stewardship of her mother, had grown to an estimated $100 million.[120]
In 1998, Presley became more closely involved in the management of the Elvis Presley Trust and its business entity, Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. and until February 2005 she was owner and chairman of the board, when she sold 85 percent of the estate's business holdings toCKX, Inc., excluding Graceland itself and the property within it.[119]
Following Presley's death, her three daughters were expected to inherit Graceland.[121][122][123] However, her mother Priscilla challenged a 2016 amendment that Presley had made to her estate, removing Priscilla as trustee and naming her two oldest children. One of these two, Presley's son Benjamin, died by suicide in 2020, leaving Riley as sole trustee.[124]
On August 16, 2024, Missouri woman Lisa Jeanine Findley was arrested for a scheme which involved, among other things, using a fraudulent claim about Presley owing money in order to illegally force the sale of Graceland.[125] According to the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Public Affairs, Findley "allegedly fabricated loan documents" on which she "forged the signatures of Elvis Presley’s daughter and a Florida State notary public. Findley then allegedly filed a false creditor’s claim with the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles, and a fake deed of trust with the Shelby County Register’s Office in Memphis" and "allegedly published a fraudulent foreclosure notice."[126]
One person involved with the Graceland foreclosure scheme previously acknowledged to the New York Times in May 2024 that the scheme involved a ring of identity thieves based in Nigeria making a claim that Presley owed $2.8 million to Naussany Investments & Private Lending LLC.[127] However, Naussany Investments & Private Lending LLC was not a real company, and the identity thieves made a habit of using forgeries of recently deceased people in order to make money through fraud schemes.[127] As a prominent figure in facilitating the scheme to force the sale of Graceland from Presley's family, Findley "posed as three different individuals" affiliated with the "fictitious private lender" in order to falsely accuse Presley of borrowing $3.8 million from Naussany Investments in 2018.[126] The loan documents purportedly signed by Presley had purportedly been acknowledged before Kimberly L. Philbrick, a Florida notary public. However, Philbrick sided with Riley Keough in her lawsuit against Naussany, stating in an affidavit, “I have never met Lisa Marie Presley, nor have I ever notarized a document signed by Lisa Marie Presley. ... I do not know why my signature appears on this document.”[128]
In February 2012, Presley opened a new exhibit, "Elvis ... Through His Daughter's Eyes". It is included in the Graceland VIP Tour and features 200 items assembled by Presley and the Graceland Archives staff.[129]
The personal exhibit looks at Presley's experience of growing up with a famous father. Home movies, toys, and rarely seen family mementos are among the items on display.[130]
In November 1975, her father named one of his private aircraft, a convertedConvair 880 jet, after her.[131] He spent more than $1 million refurbishing it to use as his main transport while on tour.[131] TheLisa Marie and one of his other planes,Hound Dog II, are on exhibit at Graceland.[131]
On January 12, 2023, at approximately 10:30 a.m.,[132] Presley sufferedcardiac arrest at her home inCalabasas, California. Emergency responders administeredCPR, and she regained a pulse before being transported toWest Hills Hospital in Los Angeles.[133] She died later that day at the age of 54.[134] According to the autopsy report, Presley died from asmall bowel obstruction caused by complications of a priorbariatric surgery. A toxicology analysis found opioids in her system, but they were not considered a factor in her death.[135]
Her last public appearance had been two days earlier at the80th Golden Globe Awards, which she attended with her mother.[136] Hundreds attended Presley's public memorial service that was held atGraceland on January 22,[137] and more than 1.5 million people watched the service via live stream.[138][139][140][141] Presley was interred in theGraceland Meditation Garden, next to her son Benjamin and adjacent to her fatherElvis.[142]
Among those in attendance (some of whom provided spoken and/or musical tribute) included her mother; surviving children; family friendJerry Schilling; former Memphis mayorA. C. Wharton;Guns N' Roses lead singerAxl Rose;The Smashing Pumpkins lead singerBilly Corgan;Sarah, Duchess of York; gospel quartetThe Blackwood Brothers; singerAlanis Morissette; and both the director and star ofElvis, respectively,Baz Luhrmann andAustin Butler.[143][144][145]
On the CBS primetime specialThe Presleys: Elvis, Lisa Marie and Riley, which aired on October 8, 2024, Presley's daughter Riley Keough providedOprah Winfrey with details about Presley's final years, with the loss of her son Benjamin revealed to have resulted in her losing the will to keep living.[146]
In August 2025, Priscilla Presley's former business partners Brigette Kruse and Kevin Fialko filed a lawsuit claiming that Priscilla "pulled the plug" on her daughter's life support with the intent to "regain control" of Elvis' family trust.[147] It has been acknowledged that soon after Lisa Marie's death, Priscilla sued Lisa Marie's daughter Riley Keough for control of the trust.[147][148] The lawsuit further alleged that Priscilla "ignored" Lisa Marie's ongoing health issues and also "exploited" her death with the intent to "regain control over Elvis Presley’s legacy and assets."[149] An amended complaint included a personal letter from Riley to her grandmother Priscilla, stating that Lisa Marie had planned to sue Priscilla shortly before her death, but was dissuaded by Riley.[150]
