In the past, Lisa – who has her taken a stab at a singing career (in 2003, Presley released her debut album, To Whom It May Concern) – has only defended the star, who has been accused many times of group male children (his accusers have appeared in the shocking documentary Leaving Neverland which aired on HBO).
‘I believed he didn’t do anything wrong, and that he was wrongly accused and, yes, I started falling for him,’ she said. ‘I wanted to save him. I felt that I could do it.’
When she talked to Oprah Winfrey in 2010, she said that their romance failed because he led an unhealthy lifestyle: ‘There was a very profound point in the marriage when he had to make a decision. Was it the drugs and the sort of vampires, or me? And he pushed me away.’

The vampires were sycophants.
‘The one thing that correlates with Michael and with my father on this subject is that they had the luxury of creating whatever reality around them they wanted to create,’ she added.
She stayed friends with Michael even after their divorce.

When her father died in 1977, she was only aged nine.
She became joint heir to his estate with her grandfather and her great-grandmother. Following the deaths, she became the sole heir and inherited Graceland.
In 1993, on her 25th birthday, she inherited the estate, which had grown to an estimated $100 million. In 2004, Lisa sold 85% of her father’s estate.
Presley admitted she ‘occasionally’ asks Elvis for help in a candid interview on ITV’s Lorraine in 2018.

She doesn’t often talk to her famous dad – who died of Myocardial infarction – but she will reach out to him when she feels like she needs some guidance because she feels ‘very connected’ to him.
Speaking on the daytime show, Lisa said of their duet Where No One Stands Alone: ‘I just felt really emotional. It’s never pleasant to sing and cry. I had to keep my composure, but I felt very connected to him and to the song.’
Lisa has always felt a strong bond with her father but she has admitted her belief was reinstated when she saw a quote from him during a new family exhibit.
She admitted: ‘There was a quote on the wall as I was leaving the exhibit it said something like, “Becoming a father is the best thing that’s ever happened to me”.
Lisa Marie has also been married to Danny Keough, Nicolas Cage and Michael Lockwood.
Her children include Riley Keough, Benjamin Keough, Finley Aaron Love Lockwood and Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood.
