Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of Elvis Presley, was working on a memoir when she died in 2023. Now, her daughter Riley Keough, has finished and publishedElvis Presley poses with wife Priscilla and daughter Lisa Marie, in a room at Baptist hospital in Memphis, Tenn., on Feb. 5, 1968., refused to write a memoir; she told people she thought her life wasn’t interesting enough to fill a book.
Eventually, Lisa Marie changed her mind about the memoir. She began making audio recordings about her life and reached out to Keough for help with the project. A month later, in January 2023,"I received the tapes. And then I kind of put it off for a while because I was like, why am I doing this to myself?" Keough says."But the project of the book really felt like a duty to me. ... It felt like just a task that had to be done, so then I think I approached it in that way.
Priscilla was a very young mother, and obviously my grandmother was living in this world that was totally overwhelming and unusual and she to be Elvis' wife. And I think there was a lot of pressure on her to be perfect and to be the perfect wife and woman that ever lived. … And I think that my mom and her were very different.
