On January 12, 2023, Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, died at 54.

According to TMZ, the singer was taken to the hospital Thursday morning after going into full cardiac arrest. She was found by her housekeeper and her ex-husband, Danny Keough. She was then taken to the hospital by paramedics, where she was put on life support and into a medically induced coma.

Presley recently attended the 2023 Golden Globe Awards where Austin Butler won the Best Actor award for his portrayal of her father in Elvis. She previously praised Butler's performance, saying that he "channeled and embodied my father's heart and soul beautifully. In my humble opinion, his performance is unprecedented and FINALLY done accurately and respectfully."

As the only child of Elvis Presley, Lisa Marie was the sole heir to her father's estate, which she inherited in 1993 on her 25th birthday. Following in her father's footsteps, Presley pursued music in her adult life, going on to release three studio albums.

Like her father, Presley's life was tabloid fodder for decades, specifically in regard to her relationships. In 1988, she married Keough, with whom she shares two children: actress Riley Keough, 33, and Benjamin Keough (1992-2020). The couple divorced in 1994, though they remained close throughout her life.

20 days after her divorce from Keough, Presley married Michael Jackson. The pair first met Jackson when she was 9 years old at a concert in Las Vegas. However, they divorced in 1996, citing "irreconcilable differences."

In the early 2000s, Presley broke off her engagement to musician John Oszajca after meeting actor Nicolas Cage at a party. They were married on August 10, 2002, but filed for divorce later that year on November 25.

Presley married her fourth husband, Michael Lockwood, in 2006, with Keough serving as best man. In 2008, Presley gave birth to twins girls, Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood and Finley Aaron Love Lockwood. However, she filed for divorce from Lockwood in 2016, which was finalized in 2021.
