Lisa Marie Presley (February 1, 1968 – January 12, 2023) was an American singer and songwriter. She was the child of singer and actor Elvis Presley and the eldest child of actress Priscilla Presley, as well as the sole heir to her father's estate after her grandfather and her great-grandmother died. Her musical career consisted of three studio albums: To Whom It May Concern (2003), Now What (2005) and Storm & Grace (2012), with To Whom It May Concern being certified gold by the Recording Industry As.sociation of America. Presley also released non-album singles, including duets with her father using tracks he had released before he died.
On January 12, 2023, at around 10:30 a.m., Presley suffered cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas, California. Her heart was restarted after CPR was administered en route to West Hills Hospital in Los Angeles, but she died later that day at age 54.
Her last public appearance was two days before at the 80th Golden Globe Awards, which she attended with her mother. Hundreds attended Presley’s public memorial service which was held at Graceland on January 22, and more than 1.5 million people watched the service via live stream as well. Presley was interred in the Graceland Meditation Garden, next to her son Benjamin and adjacent to her father Elvis.
Among those in attendance (some of whom spoke and or paid musical tribute) included her mother, surviving children, family friend Jerry Schilling, former Memphis mayor A. C. Wharton, Guns 'N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose, The Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan, Sarah, Duchess of York, gospel quartet The Blackwood Brothers, singer Alanis Morissette, and both the director and star of Elvis, respectively, Baz Luhrmann and Austin Butler.
