After being hospitalized for a medical emergency, Lisa Marie Presley, a singer, Elvis' only daughter, and a dedicated steward of her father's legacy, passed away on Thursday. 54 years old.
Priscilla, Presley's mother, confirmed her daughter's passing.
In a statement, Priscilla Presley said, "It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us." She was the most ardent, resolute, and devoted woman I had ever met.
Presley, the only child of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, shared her father's brooding charisma, including the hooded eyes, insolent smile, and low, sultry voice. She followed him professionally, releasing her own rock albums in the 2000s and performing on stage with Pat Benatar, Richard Hawley, and other artists.
She even forged close musical ties with her father by singing on Elvis recordings like "In the Ghetto" and "Don't Cry Daddy," a sad ballad that made him think of Gladys Presley, his mother and Lisa Marie's grandmother.
She stated to The Associated Press in 2012, referring to the influence of her father, "It's been all my life." I don't listen to it anymore, and it's different. Despite this, I might listen closer. I maintain my unwavering belief that I have always admired. I’ve always been influenced by him."
Her birth, nine months immediately following her parents' wedding, was world news, and she frequently thought about her past. Lisa Marie and Priscilla Presley had been attending red carpet events and award shows alongside movie stars the year before Baz Luhrmann's major musical feature "Elvis."
She attended the Golden Globes on Tuesday to honor Austin Butler's win for his role as her father. She was in Memphis on January 8 to commemorate her father's birthday at Graceland, the mansion where Elvis lived and died.
After Presley's parents split up in 1973, she moved to California with her mother, a Dallas and Naked Gun star. During her visits to Graceland, she saw her dad regularly making his way down the stairs and riding golf carts through the neighborhood.
He was always completely prepared. She stated to The Associated Press in 2012, "He would never come down the steps in his pajamas." He would never be seen in anything other than "ready to be seen" clothing.
In August 1977, Elvis Presley passed away. He was just 42 years old and she was 9 years old. At the time, Lisa Marie was staying at Graceland. She would remember him kissing her goodnight for hours before he would fall and never get better. The following day, he was lying face down in the bathroom when she last saw him.
Lisa Marie Presley, a singer, Elvis’ only daughter and a dedicated keeper of her father’s legacy, died on Thursday after being hospitalized for a medical emergency. She was 54.
Presley’s death was confirmed by her mother, Priscilla.
“It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” Priscilla Presley said in a statement. “She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known.”
Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley had only one child, Lisa Marie Presley. She was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on February 1, 1968. Lisa Marie inherited her father's love of music and grew up in the public eye. She began her own singing career at the beginning of the 1990s and has since released a number of albums. She is also well-known for her charitable endeavors, such as her involvement with the Presley Charitable Foundation, which contributes to a variety of charitable endeavors.
Presley, the only child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, shared her father’s brooding charisma — the hooded eyes, the insolent smile, the low, sultry voice — and followed him professionally, releasing her own rock albums in the 2000s, and appearing on stage with Pat Benatar and Richard Hawley among others.
She even formed direct musical ties with her father, joining her voice to such Elvis recordings as 'In the Ghetto' and 'Don’t Cry Daddy', a mournful ballad which had reminded him of the early death of his mother (and Lisa Marie’s grandmother), Gladys Presley.
“It’s been all my life,” she told The Associated Press in 2012, speaking of her father’s influence. “It’s not something that I now listen to and it’s different. Although I might listen closer. I remain consistent on the fact that I’ve always been an admirer. He’s always influenced me.”

Her birth, nine months exactly after her parents’ wedding, was international news and her background was rarely far from her mind. With the release last year of Baz Luhrmann’s major musical feature 'Elvis', Lisa Marie and Priscilla Presley had been attending red carpets and award shows alongside stars from the film.
She was at the Golden Globes on Tuesday, on hand to celebrate Austin Butler’s award for playing her father. Just days before, she was in Memphis at Graceland — the mansion where Elvis lived and died — on January 8 to celebrate her father’s birth anniversary.
Presley lived with her mother, an actor known for 'Dallas' and the 'Naked Gun' movies, in California after her parents split up in 1973. She recalled early memories of her dad during her visits to Graceland, riding golf carts through the neighbourhood and seeing his daily entrances down the stairs.
“He was always fully, fully geared up. You’d never see him in his pajamas coming down the steps, ever,” she told The Associated Press in 2012. “You’d never see him in anything but ‘ready to be seen’ attire.”
Elvis Presley died in August 1977, when he was just 42, and she 9 years old. Lisa Marie was staying at Graceland at the time and would recall him kissing her goodnight hours before he would collapse and never recover. When she next saw him, the following day, he was lying face down in the bathroom.
