What You Never Knew About Lisa Marie Presley

In July 2020, Lisa Marie Presley and Danny Keough's son Benjamin Keough died by suicide (via TMZ). The world was stunned to hear news of his death, but no one was more devastated than the 27-year-old's parents. Presley's representative told People, "[Lisa Marie] is completely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated but trying to stay strong for her 11-year-old twins and her oldest daughter Riley. She adored that boy. He was the love of her life."

Presley was clearly proud of her son, often commenting on his musical abilities and natural gifts, as well as his physical resemblance to her late father. She once told CMT that Benjamin was a "quiet storm" backstage at an event. "Everybody was grabbing him for a photo because it is just uncanny," she said. "Sometimes I am overwhelmed when I look at him."

In May 2022, Presley revealed on Instagram that her son's death is still an incredibly painful topic for her to even speak about. While promoting a biopic about her father's life on Instagram, she wrote, "I am and will forever be mourning the loss of my son. Navigating through this hideous grief that absolutely destroyed and shattered my heart and my soul into almost nothing has swallowed me whole. Not much else aside from my other 3 children gets my time and attention anymore."
