Random House Books announced Thursday (January 11) that it will also publish an untitled posthumous memoir by Lisa Marie Presley. According to a statement, the only daughter of rock king Elvis Presley and ex-wife Priscilla began work on her memoir before her shocking death on January 12, 2023 at the age of 54 from natural causes due to the effects of a small bowel obstruction. .
“Born into an American legend and raised in the wilds of Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley was never truly understood. . . until now,” it says announcement. “Before her death in 2023, she worked for years on a raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir, recording countless hours of extremely vulnerable tape, which was eventually released to the page by her daughter, Riley. Keough.”
At the time of publication the book's title and cover image had not yet been revealed.
Presley died at a Los Angeles hospital, where she was rushed by medics who responded to a 911 call of a woman in cardiac arrest at her home. No indication was released at the time as to what may have caused the medical problem. An autopsy report said Presley complained of stomach pain earlier in the day. She was laid to rest in a funeral on Jan. 22 at Graceland, the home where she lived with her father as a child that has become a museum, tourist attraction and shrine for Elvis fans.
Singer/songwriter Presley released three studio albums in her lifetime — To whom it may concern (2003), Now What (2005) and Storm & Grace (2012) — and became the sole heir to her late father's $100 million fortune after her grandparents died before selling 85 percent of her stake in 2005 to CKX, run by the late SFX Entertainment founder Robert FX Sillerman. Keough (Daisy Jones & the Six) is the sole administrator of Graceland.
