“My and my three daughters’ lives as we knew it were completely detonated and destroyed by his death,” Lisa—who shared Benjamin and Riley with ex Danny Keough—wrote in a 2022 essay for People. “I’ve had more than anyone’s fair share of it in my lifetime and somehow, I’ve made it this far. But this one, the death of my beautiful, beautiful son? No. Just no.”
Earlier this year, Riley, 35, and Penguin Random House announced they would be posthumously publishing a memoir by Lisa Marie, From Here to the Great Unknown, on Oct. 8.
“Few people had the opportunity to know who my mom really was, other than being Elvis’s daughter,” Riley shared in a January press release. “I was lucky to have had that opportunity and working on preparing her autobiography for publication has been a privilege, albeit a bittersweet one.”
