Did Lisa Marie Presley Cry Listening To Elvis Presley’s Music? Daughter Riley Keough Reveals

by

As a fervent admirer of the Presley family’s legacy, I find myself deeply moved and captivated by Riley Keough’s heartfelt account of her mother, Lisa Marie Presley. Her poignant recollections of Lisa Marie’s private moments, filled with grief and love for Elvis, serve as a testament to the enduring bond between father and daughter.

As a devoted admirer and daughter of Lisa Marie Presley, I can attest to the fact that she carried the weight of her father’s passing for many years after he left us. In a heartfelt conversation with Oprah Winfrey, Riley Keough, star of Daisy Jones & the Six, shared an intimate glimpse into her late grandmother’s emotions. According to Riley, Lisa Marie was often moved to tears by her father Elvis’s music, and I believe her sorrow was profound – a pain that I don’t think she knew how to fully grapple with.

She shared that it was something personal to her, revealing that she would listen to his music on her own, especially when she was intoxicated, and shed tears over it. This insight is drawn from a clip released for the upcoming An Oprah Special: The Presleys — Elvis, Lisa Marie, and Riley.

When Oprah asked if she had seen her mom in such a state before, Keough confirmed that she had. She remembered entering her mother’s room to find her playing Elvis’s songs loudly on the speakers while crying on the floor. “On the floor she would cry, with her father’s music playing,” the actress continued.

During a heartfelt interview with Burning Love’s singer’s grandchild, Oprah delved deep into the forthcoming memoir of the late Lisa Marie, titled From Here to the Great Unknown. Before her tragic passing, Lisa Marie had narrated many stories for this book, which her grandchild co-wrote to completion. The book is set to be released on October 8.

The memoir offers a revealing account of Lisa Marie’s “tranquil yet tumultuous childhood spent with Elvis, the unexpected passing of Elvis, her turbulent adolescence after her father’s demise, her marital journeys, her deep affection for her offspring, and her heart-wrenching struggle with addiction.” The book will also include exclusive family photographs and excerpts from Lisa Marie’s personal recordings, highlighting moments shared with her father.

 

Initially, Lisa Marie had requested her daughter to assist in completing her memoir. However, her unexpected passing prompted Keough to approach the project with a new outlook. “Most people didn’t truly understand who my mother was beyond being Elvis’s child,” the actress remarked.

She felt fortunate to share the tale of her deceased mother, despite its mix of sweetness and sadness. “I’m thrilled to present my mom now, at her most open and truthful, and I truly wish that readers will grow to cherish my mom as deeply as I did,” she continued.
