Two days before her death, she appeared at the Golden Globes, and fans worried that she looked frail and appeared to struggle to speak.
She lost her son in 2020 and spent her last years honoring him.
Lisa Marie Presley was a singer, songwriter, and the only daughter of the king of pop Elvis Presley. The singer was at this year’s Golden Globes in support of actor Austin Butler who played her father in the movie “Elvis.”
Lisa Marie praised the actor for giving a very “accurate” and “spot-on” performance of her father’s character. She also appreciated how the film did not make a mockery out of Elvis’ artistic expression.

Nonetheless, fans empathized with the singer because she had lost her son, Benjamin Keough, to suicide in 2020 and could only imagine how difficult the grieving process had been for Lisa Marie.
However, the night at the Golden Globes was emotional for Lisa Marie and her mother, Priscilla. The mother-daughter cried during Butler’s speech as he thanked them for taking him when he was filming “Elvis.” “I love you forever,” he said.
Lisa Marie wrote a sweet tribute to her son on his birthday in 2020 and how suffocating the pain of his passing had been to her and his siblings.
The mother of four asked her son for guidance and strength as she continued to live and care for her daughters. She knew he would want his sisters to be cared for.
Even though the pain of losing her eldest son was unbearable, Lisa Marie was willing to continue to give her children the love they deserved.
Lisa Marie Was Destroyed by Her Son’s Death
Lisa Marie’s death shocked many people. She had just made an appearance at the Golden Gloves, and fans were ecstatic to see her in public.
However, two days after her public appearance, she died prematurely from a reported cardiac arrest. Lisa Marie’s father also suffered a premature death, which had the whole world shuttered. The king of pop allegedly lost his life due to heart failure.
She vividly recalled that it was August 16th, and she was supposed to be asleep when Elvis found her and told her to go to bed, to which she replied, “okay.”
Her father tucked her into bed and gave her a good night kiss; that was the last time she saw him alive. Her son’s death was also unexpected, so Lisa Marie dealt with a lot of grief in her life.
But when she lost her son and became a “representative” of her biggest nightmare, she never wished anyone to be a victim of such pain.
Nonetheless, Lisa Marie chose to keep going despite how challenging it was, but even then, her son gave her strength because he made it clear that his younger sisters needed to be protected at all costs.
Lisa Marie’s Close-Knit Family
Lisa Marie was close to all her children, and the singer was not shy to show it off on her Instagram. She shared a special Christmas moment of watching the Nutcracker ballet with her daughters.
Lisa Marie was happy whenever her daughters were around her; when she thanked her fans for wishing her a happy birthday, she said it would not be a good day without her three girls. They were her favorite people in the world.
However, Lisa Marie was also lucky enough to have had her mother and grandmother alive at an older age. In 2015 she shared a picture of the three beautiful generations of women.
