Lisa: A Strong and Loving Woman
Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis Presley’s only child, was born nine months after Elvis and Priscilla tied the knot. After their parents’ separated in 1973, she and her mother moved to Los Angeles when she was 4 years old. When Lisa was only 9 years old, Elvis passed away. He would often wake me up to sing in the middle of the night, get on the table, and sing, Lisa revealed about her father in an interview in 2009. He was a really interesting father, but I just remember him as my father.
Three albums by Lisa were released throughout her professional career: Storm & Grace (2005), Now What (2005), and To Whom It May Concern (2003). She applied for a Gold certification for her debut album from the Recording Industry Association of America. She also released a few non-album singles, some of which were duets with her father performed to songs that he had already recorded before his terrible passing.
Lisa experienced a number of unhappy marriages in her personal life. Riley and Benjamin were born to Lisa and Chicago-based musician Danny Keough after their 1988 marriage. But the pair had a divorce in 1994. Sadly, Benjamin killed himself in 2020, a year before he would have turned 28.
After her divorce, Lisa quickly wed Michael Jackson, whom her father had first introduced to her when she was just seven years old. “I dedicate my life to being Michael’s wife because I love him so much. We both look forward to starting a family, and I understand and support him,” she said of Michael at the time. But after two years, the two decided to call it quits.
She later became engaged to musician John Oszajca, who was born in Hawaii, but broke off the engagement after meeting Nicholas Cage. The two exchanged vows in a private ceremony, although they were only wed for around four months.
In 2006, she wed Michael Lockwood, with whom she has two children. However, their divorce was finally finalized in 2021, which led to a contentious custody dispute. Lisa was last saw with her mother at the Golden Globe Awards, where they were there to support the Baz Luhrmann film “Elvis,” which is based on her late father.
