Elvis Presley‘s Graceland home has become a mecca for music fans worldwide. However, it was a family abode before it became a popular tourist destination. Elvis tried to make Graceland a place where he could unwind from the rigors of the road. One of its most unique elements is its Meditation Garden, which draws inspiration from a surprising source.

Riley Keough Claims Fraud, Forged Lisa Marie Presley Signature in Graceland Foreclosure Sale Attempt
Actress Riley Keough is taking the fight to save Graceland — the iconic Memphis home of her grandfather Elvis Presley — to court this week after what she claims is a fraudulent attempt to use her late mother’s forged signature to pass the property over to settle a multi-million dollar debt.
Keough, the trustee of the Promenade Trust, filed a lawsuit on May 15 in Shelby County Chancery Court and is now seeking to block an entity named Naussany Investments & Private Lending LLC from taking profits from the sale of Graceland, a longtime Memphis tourism destination and place of pilgrimage for Presley and his fans worldwide. In the complaint, Keough’s attorney suggests that the entity attempting to have Graceland sold off forged Lisa Marie Presley’s signature on the document that allowed the famed property to be held as collateral for a $3.8 million loan.

Lisa Marie Presley’s death shocked the entertainment industry. However, Elvis Presley‘s only daughter reportedly suffered from a condition she called a “chronic Presley problem.” A historian believes a lingering health issue may have caused Lisa Marie to dismiss severe symptoms in the period leading up to her death.
Lisa Marie Presley lived with chronic abdominal pain, claims historian
Elvis Presley historian Sally Hoedel told The Sun that Lisa Marie Presley reportedly lived with chronic abdominal pain, said. Lisa Marie reportedly experienced extreme stomach discomfort in the days before her death.

Faced with the imminent death of her beloved mother, Ann, Priscilla Presley was comforted in knowing she was able to give her some peace. Priscilla says she played Elvis Presley‘s gospel music for her mother in her final hours, hoping it would bring her comfort.

Sofia Coppola's new film "Priscilla" is a biography of Priscilla Presley, based on her own 1985 book "Elvis & Me," which she wrote with Sandra Harmon. Cailee Spaeny plays Priscilla, while Jacob Elordi plays Elvis Presley, the rock star to whom she was married from 1967 to 1973. Infamously, the pair began dating when Priscilla was 14 years old and Elvis was 24. According to /Film's review of "Priscilla," written by Shae Sennett, Coppola is careful to both celebrate their romance while also criticizing Elvis' lascivious behavior. The film seems to look at the high-profile romance between Elvis and Priscilla with extreme ambivalence, incorporating both the exhilaration of dating a handsome rock star at age 14, while acknowledging the unsavory age gap between the two and the demands on Priscilla Presley to maintain a particular public image.

Four months before her death in January, Lisa Marie Presley sent a couple of emails to Sofia Coppola asking her to revise the script for Priscilla, which opens widely on Friday. In one of her messages, she described the screenplay, which tells the story of Lisa Marie’s mom, Priscilla, as “shockingly vengeful and contemptuous,” according to Variety. She reportedly worried that a negative depiction of Elvis would widen the chasm between her and Priscilla and put unneeded pressure on Elvis’ grandchildren after the 2020 death of her son, Benjamin Keough.

Before her death earlier this year, Lisa Marie Presley expressed shock and horror over the depiction of her father Elvis Presley in the script for Sofia Coppola’s new film “Priscilla.” Described in two emails obtained exclusively by Variety, the late Presley asked Coppola to reconsider her vision for the character and to spare her family public embarrassment. The messages were sent four months before Presley suffered fatal cardiac arrest in January.
Presley’s messages called the script “shockingly vengeful and contemptuous,” and contained pleas to Oscar-winning director Coppola to refrain from straining her fragile relationship with her mother – the film’s subject, Priscilla Presley – as well as bringing scrutiny on Elvis’ living grandchildren as they continue to grieve the loss of Lisa Marie Presley’s son, Benjamin Keough, who died in 2020.

Riley Keough is opening up about her relationship with her grandmother Priscilla Presley.
It was reported last week that Keough had officially been named the sole trustee of the Graceland estate of her late mother, Lisa Marie Presley, after a legal battle with Priscilla.
Reflecting on how things are with her grandmother now, Keough told Vanity Fair of the lawsuit, “When my mom passed, there was a lot of chaos in every aspect of our lives.
“Everything felt like the carpet had been ripped out and the floor had melted from under us. Everyone was in a bit of a panic to understand how we move forward, and it just took a minute to understand the details of the situation, because it’s complicated. We are a family, but there’s also a huge business side of our family. So I think that there was clarity that needed to be had.

Lisa Marie Presley Died From Small Bowel Obstruction From Weight-Loss Surgery, Medical Examiner Says
According to a report from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office, Lisa Marie Presley‘s death on January 13 was due to a “sequelae of small bowel obstruction.” The sequelae was caused by “adhesions that developed after bariatric surgery years ago.” The findings also stated that Presley suffered cardiac arrest while at her home and died while she was in the hospital.
According to Cleveland Clinic, small bowel obstruction occurs when there is “a partial or complete blockage of the small intestine.” In this case, the obstruction was caused by bariatric surgery, which involves changing one’s digestive system to help lose weight.
The singer was rock and roll legend Elvis Presley‘s only child. Lisa Marie was last seen publicly days before her death with her mother, Priscilla, at the Golden Globes. The 2022 biopic about Elvis was nominated for Best Motion Picture, Best Director and Best Actor in the drama categories.
