Riley Keough found it ‘incredibly painful’ to listen to tapes of her late mother, Lisa Marie Presley

Riley Keough completed her late mother Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir, but it didn’t come without a cost.

Riley Keough completed her late mother Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir, but it didn’t come without a cost. The actress spoke with People about “From Here to the Great Unknown,” which tells the story of the life of her mom, who died in January 2023 of complications from a prior weight loss surgery. Presley was 54. “Because my mother was Elvis Presley’s daughter, she was constantly talked about, argued over and dissected,” Riley, 35, told the publication via email. “What she wanted to do in her memoir, and what I hope I’ve done in finishing it for her, is to go beneath the magazine headline idea of her and reveal the core of who she was.” Keough is left to mourn, along with her sisters, Finley Aaron Love Lockwood and Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood. Their brother, Benjamin Keough, died at the age of 27 in 2020. The “Daisy Jones & The Six” star listened to recordings of Presley.
