VALE Lisa, I'm devastated. You didn't have an easy life. :-( I don't usually post things on here that I haven't personally produced but I can't let this go - have shed so many tears in the past weeks. Did you have Ben in mind when you recorded this?

The singer and songwriter died last week aged 54 after being hospitalised following an apparent cardiac arrest.

The only daughter of the King of Rock and Roll’s death called into question the ownership of the estate after Lisa Marie inherited the property following Elvis Presley’s death in 1977.

On Thursday, Lisa Marie was rushed to the hospital and died following cardiac arrest. Her mother Priscilla Presley confirmed the news.

“It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” Priscilla told People.

The memorial for Lisa Marie is open to the public and will be held at 9am on January 22 on the front lawn of Graceland Mansion, according to a statement on Graceland’s website.

“In lieu of flowers, the family encourages all who wish to send something to do so in the form of a donation to The Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation,” a notice on the site reads.

Elvis purchased the estate in 1957 when he was just 22 years old.

He died in the mansion from cardiac arrest in 1977 and is buried on the grounds of Graceland, which is now a museum and a popular tourist attraction.

Lisa Marie is now interred there as well, alongside her son Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in 2020 at the age of 27.

The Graceland estate was held in trust for Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, until her 25th birthday.

“Lisa Marie Presley became more closely involved with the management team of The Elvis Presley Trust and its business entity, Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. (EPE), of which she was the owner and Chairman of the Board until February 2005 when she sold a major interest in the company,” according to the Graceland website.

Over the weekend, grief expert David Kessler shared a photo of himself and Presley on his verified Instagram account, writing that she had asked him to accompany her to Memphis for an 88th birthday celebration for her late father days before her death.

“She had countless invites for the weekend, but for her, there were only three important ones: Being at her father’s birthday celebration, spending time at her son and father’s grave after the tours left Graceland, and meeting with a recently bereaved mother,” Kessler wrote.

Lisa Marie was active in helping others deal with their grief, he wrote, including co-hosting grief groups with him at her home for other bereaved parents.

Kessler wrote that their time visiting Graceland was “so much fun and she was optimistic” and that “Graceland was her happy place and the employees who all knew her shared that she was looking so much better”.

“She looked more at peace and was so proud of the Elvis movie. Saturday night we sat at the graves of her father and son,” he wrote.

“We talked about the heartbreak she grew up with and the more recent devastation of her son’s death. She showed me where she would be buried someday. I said a long time from now … and she said yes, I have so much to do.”

Lisa Marie is survived by her three daughters, actress Riley Keough and twins Finley and Harper Lockwood.

A representative for Graceland confirmed to People that Lisa Marie’s children will inherit the estate.
