A few hours earlier, Priscilla Presley shared on social media that Lisa Marie had been taken to a hospital. She initially did not provide any further information about the medical emergency.
According to US media reports, Lisa Marie Presley may have suffered cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas, California. Paramedics carried out resuscitation, wrote the celebrity portal “TMZ.com”.
Earlier this week at the Golden Globe Gala
Just a few days ago, mother and daughter were still in the spotlight. Together they attended the Golden Globe Gala on Tuesday night in Los Angeles. There, actor Austin Butler won the Globe for best drama actor for his leading role in the biopic “Elvis”.
In interviews on the red carpet, the Elvis daughter gushed about how aptly Butler portrayed her father (1935-1977). Lisa Marie Presley was nine years old when her father died in 1977 at the age of 42.
Parents’ turbulent marriage
Her parents’ relationship made headlines around the world: Priscilla’s stepfather was stationed in Germany, where the fateful first encounter of the then 14-year-old with the “Love Me Tender” star took place in 1959.
Priscilla must first come of age and finish school before they are married in Las Vegas in May 1967. Nine months later, daughter Lisa Marie was born. The tumultuous marriage lasted just six years. After the divorce in 1973, neither of them remarried.
Lisa Marie herself a singer
Lisa Marie herself pursued a singing career. She has released three studio albums, most recently Storm & Grace in 2012. But above all, the singer, who has been divorced four times, often made the headlines because of her private life. She got married for the first time when she was 20.
After divorcing musician Danny Keough in 1994, the Elvis daughter was married to pop star Michael Jackson for almost two years. Her subsequent marriage to actor Nicolas Cage broke up after three and a half months. She split from record producer Michael Lockwood in 2016 after ten years of marriage.
four children
From the relationship with Lockwood come 14-year-old twin daughters. She also leaves behind an adult daughter, actress Riley Keough. Presley’s son Benjamin Keough committed suicide in 2020 at the age of 27. She was “completely devastated,” said her spokesman for the US magazine “People” at the time.
“These are some of the darkest days of my family’s life. The shock of losing Ben is devastating,” Priscilla Presley wrote on Facebook at the time after her grandson’s death. Now the Elvis widow has to cope with the loss of her only daughter.
Hollywood dismay
The singer’s sudden death caused consternation in Hollywood. “Lisa, little girl, I’m so sorry. I will miss you but I know I will see you again,” actor John Travolta wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of Lisa Marie.
“So sad to have lost another bright star,” Oscar winner Octavia Spencer wrote on Twitter. This is heartbreaking, mourned singer LeAnn Rimes on Twitter. “I hope she finds peace in her father’s arms.”
