Lisa Marie Presley‘s legacy and her posthumous memoir were celebrated with a special tour of Graceland, giving fans a glimpse at intimate Presley family artifacts.
Fans were invited to the former home and burial site of Lisa Marie’s legendary father, Elvis Presley, in Memphis, Tennessee, where they were treated to a look at the estate’s rare treasures.
The tour came days before the release of her book, From Here to the Great Unknown, which was completed by her eldest daughter Riley Keough, 34, and released on October 8, following Lisa Marie’s passing in 2023 at age 54.
Among the items visitors were treated to was a scarf gifted to Lisa Marie from the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, with the inscription, ‘To Yisa. Long Beach Arena. I love my Lisa. Daddy.’

Riley Keough reveals Lisa Marie Presley ‘sensed’ Elvis would die
It was later found that she died from a ‘small bowel obstruction’ caused by a bariatric surgery that she had undergone according to the autopsy.
However, her daughter Riley recently revealed what she thinks is her mother’s true cause of death, telling People in a recent interview that her mother really died from a broken heart, after her brother brother Benjamin’s suicide.
‘My mom physically died from the after effects of her surgery, but we all knew she died of a broken heart,’ she said.
Lisa Marie’s father died in August 1977 at the age of just 42. Elvis, Lisa Marie and her son Benjamin are all buried at Graceland.
In the book, Lisa Marie covers her love for her father and how much she struggled after his death, her romantic relationships, motherhood, the devastating death of her son Benjamin, and the birth of her granddaughter, Keough’s two-year-old daughter Tupelo.
Keough was able to finish her mother’s book by using the hours of recordings Lisa Marie did before her death, and then do some of the narration with Julia Roberts, for the audiobook version.
Elvis bought the Graceland estate in 1957 for $102,500, the same year he recorded a slew of iconic hits including ‘Blue Christmas’ and ‘All Shook Up.’

The property was constructed in 1939 by Ruth Brown Moore and her husband Dr. Thomas D. Moore, who named the property ‘Graceland’ after Ruth’s aunt Grace Toof, the original owner of the land.
Graceland is known as a zany, folksy look into Elvis’ lifestyle, including the notable ‘Jungle Room’ filled with greenery and family heirlooms, which was initially used as a practical joke by Elvis, who purchased many items of furniture in an attempt to annoy his father.
According to a video on the Graceland website, every item of furniture in the home is an original piece of furniture that was purchased during Elvis’ time there.
Today, the property at 3763 Elvis Presley Blvd stands as one of America’s most famous musical landmarks, which was acknowledged in 1991 when it was added to the American National register of Historic Places.
It features a museum that houses some of the most notable artifacts from his career, including a 40ft high wall that contains every single of the awards he was given after his death.
