As an ardent fan and admirer of the Presley legacy, I find myself captivated by Riley Keough’s courage and dedication in bringing her mother Lisa Marie Presley’s story to light through the upcoming book tour for “From Here to the Great Unknown.”

Riley Keough, Elvis Presley’s granddaughter, has revealed plans for an autumn book tour. This is to support the release of a new memoir by her late mother, Lisa Marie Presley. The book, titled “From Here to the Great Unknown,” will be available on October 8, 2024. Riley helped complete this work after her mother’s passing.

On Tuesday, July 30th, the 35-year-old Emmy-nominated actress publicly announced a tour, sharing news about her recently published memoir with Random House. Following Lisa Marie’s passing in early 2023, she assumed control of something.

Based on a social media announcement from Random House, these tours offer an exclusive look into the life of Lisa Marie Presley. In every city, Riley Keough will be accompanied by special guests for discussions about fame, family relationships, love and loss, as well as the maternal bond explored in the book. The post stated, “Occasionally, those most renowned are the least understood. Join @RileyKeough for a unique dialogue as she honors her mother Lisa Marie Presley’s remarkable legacy with the publication of their memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown.”

Beginning on Wednesday, 9th October, the tour will commence in New York City. Subsequent stops include St. Louis, Nashville, London, the Graceland estate in Memphis, and concluding in Los Angeles on Sunday, 20th October. A depiction of a young Lisa Marie with her father, Elvis Presley, can be found within this book. This book is a collaborative work between Lisa Marie and Riley, offering insights into their shared experiences of growing up at Graceland, living together, and their journey towards healing.

Riley Keough and her late mother Lisa Marie Presley’s book dives into their bond & more

Before she passed away on January 12, 2023, at the age of 54, Lisa Marie Presley requested her daughter, Riley, to finish writing her memoirs. The book’s chapters offer insight into different periods of her life, such as the loss of her father, Elvis Presley, in 1977; relocating to Los Angeles with Priscilla Presley; and struggles with addiction and mourning, among other experiences.

The actor from Daisy Jones & The Six shared with Variety that Lisa Marie Presley had been working on this project for about three or four years, and he felt compelled to contribute to it and help her finish. It’s deeply emotional, healing, and brings him closer to her. It’s a mix of bittersweet, challenging, and unique feelings.

Using notes left behind by her late mother, Riley finished the memoir, filled with tales from her Graceland upbringing and insights into musician Lisa’s personal life, including her relationships with Danny Keough and Michael Jackson. Riley found this process both healing and emotional, acknowledging that making such a decision wasn’t easy for her. Yet, she pursued it as it felt right for her mother, despite the hardships involved.
