Lisa Marie Presley to be buried at Graceland, her father Elvis’ mansion that on Friday was a gathering place for fans who were distraught over the singer-songwriter’s death
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Lisa Marie Presley will be buried at Graceland, her father Elvis’ mansion that on Friday was a gathering place for fans who were distraught over the singer-songwriter’s death a day earlier.
A singer-songwriter herself, Lisa Marie did not live in Memphis, where she was born. But she made trips to the city for celebrations of her father’s birth anniversary and commemorations of his death, which stunned the world when he was found dead in his Graceland home at age 42 on Aug. 16, 1977. She was in Memphis just this past Sunday, on what would have been her father’s 88th birthday.
“Elvis died young, and so did she. And her son, his passing was very tragic as well,” said Ferraro, 32. “It’s hard and it’s devastating.” Lisa Marie was 9 when her father died. She was staying at Graceland at the time and would recall him kissing her goodnight hours before he died. When she next saw him, the following day, he was lying face down in the bathroom.
During an interview with the AP during that stop, she smiled when recalling the time spent with her dad. She said one of her favorite items was the key used to operate a golf cart because it helped her recall when she was alone with her father, riding around the neighborhood.
