Lisa Marie Presley, the Daughter of Elvis Presley, Dies at 54

Ms. Presley owned Graceland, Elvis’s estate in Memphis, and her father’s artifacts. She also owned 15 percent of Elvis Presley Enterprises.

Her music career, however, never exploded as it had for her father. But his influence was evident in her songs and some lyrics. In her debut album from 2003, “To Whom It May Concern,” she sings in the bluesy, melancholic song “Lights Out” that “someone turned the lights out there in Memphis. That’s where my family’s buried and gone.”

Still, her last name had always enshrined her as a celebrity. And her star-studded relationships only deepened that perception.

From 1994 to 1996, she was married to Michael Jackson. Together, the pair — one the daughter of the king of rock ’n’ roll, the other regarded as the king of pop — attracted the glare of cameras and bountiful attention. In 2002, she married the actor Nicolas Cage, but the couple separated within a four-month period that same year.

Before Mr. Jackson, she married the musician Danny Keough in 1988. They separated after six years and had two children together, including the actress Riley Keough and Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide at age 27 in 2020. In recent years, she was married to Michael Lockwood, with whom she had twin daughters, Finley Lockwood and Harper Lockwood. They divorced in 2021.

In a foreword of a book “The United States of Opioids: A Prescription for Liberating a Nation in Pain,” Ms. Presley wrote about her own struggle with addiction.

In a 2022 People magazine essay, Ms. Presley said that her life had been struck with death, grief and loss since her childhood, writing that the death of Mr. Keough had been a devastating blow to her and her three daughters.

“Grief does not stop or go away in any sense, a year, or years after the loss,” she said. “Grief is something you will have to carry with you for the rest of your life, in spite of what certain people or our culture wants us to believe.”
