In a noteworthy development in the literary world, the posthumous autobiography of Lisa Marie Presley, the sole progeny of the iconic American rock 'n' roll figure, Elvis Presley, is slated for release in October. This announcement was made by her daughter, alongside the publishers, on a date that nearly coincides with the first anniversary of her demise.
Riley Keough, an actress acclaimed for her performances in Mad Max: Fury Road and the series Daisy Jones and the Six, expressed her privilege in facilitating the publication of her mother Lisa Marie Presley's memoirs. In a statement on Instagram, Keough remarked, "I'm honored to help put my mother's book out for her." Accompanying this declaration was a link to a website, which revealed the scheduled release date of the memoir as October 15, 2024.
The website hosting the announcement tantalizes potential readers with the promise of an unprecedented glimpse into Presley's life. It characterizes the forthcoming memoir as "raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind." According to the website, Presley had been compiling audio recordings for this memoir over several years, with Keough transcribing these recordings into the written word.
Lisa Marie Presley, the offspring of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, who ended their marriage in 1973, sought to carve a niche for herself in the music industry. Despite her efforts, she did not attain the same level of stardom as her father. Her life was marked by its turbulent nature, heavily influenced by the immense legacy of her father. She candidly shared her struggles with addiction and her journey through four marriages, to Danny Keough, actor Nicolas Cage, legendary pop figure Michael Jackson and actor/composer Michael Lockwood.
Tragically, Lisa Marie Presley passed away at the age of 54 on January 12, 2023. The cause, as identified by the autopsy, was complications arising from weight-loss surgery. Her passing elicited a flood of tributes from luminaries in the American entertainment industry, underscoring her enduring influence and the legacy of the Presley family.
