Tributes to Lisa Marie Presley

Lisa Marie Presley Memorial Service Information

Graceland posted a short update on this sad day. 'Priscilla Presley and the Presley family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Lisa Marie. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time'.

Elvis Presley's ex, Linda Thompson, shared an image of Elvis with Lisa Marie and wrote, 'My heart is too heavy for words…' 

Linda Thompson, who dated Lisa Marie's father Elvis Presley from 1972 to 1976, told People magazine that she is 'absolutely devastated and shocked' at her death on Thursday aged 54.

'I was so happy to see her at Graceland to celebrate what would have been Elvis's 88th birthday, and then, of course, at the Golden Globes', Thompson, 72, adds about Lisa Marie, who she first met as a young girl.

'She seemed to be on a more positive trajectory emotionally after the unfathomable loss of her beloved son, Benjamin', continues Thompson in reference to the tragic July 2020 suicide of Lisa Marie's late son Benjamin Keough.

'Lisa and I kept in touch off & on for all these years — most recently by text. In fact, the very last text to me was a simple 'Love you Linda' with a heart emoji'.

'Lisa Marie was so much like her daddy it was uncanny', adds Thompson, who first met Elvis in 1972 shortly after he separated from Priscilla Presley. 'She had his deep, soulful eyes, his pouty lip, and his raucous, irreverent sense of humor. She was a beautiful contradiction like Elvis… complicated in her simplicity. She was brutally honest, straightforward, loving and loyal. I don't think there was a phony cell in her body. I believe she lived her life authentically'.

'I will always be profoundly grateful to the little nine-year-old Lisa Marie, who had the presence of mind to call me from Graceland the fateful day her daddy died to give me the news', Thompson told People. 'I was the first person she called. To me, that spoke volumes of how close we were, and how sure she was of my love for her daddy. In fact, if there is any solace to be found now, it's in my knowing that Lisa Marie was sure I loved her and her daddy, without reservation and without any agenda…'

Ginger Alden posted: Many healing prayers said for Lisa Marie Presley at this time. 🙏🙏.

It's not always easy knowing all/what to say in moments sometimes but here goes. As many of us share with extreme saddened hearts today the passing of Elvis's daughter, I wanted to reflect. 

My time with Lisa Marie was unique for me and special. I grew to care deeply for her and felt the same from her. We didn't have years together but it was quality time spent for sure when she visited Elvis and me at Graceland as a young child in 77 and was able to join us on some tours and visit with me at my family home. 

I will always remember riding in the golf cart with Lisa at her father's home, something she loved so very much and taking her to good 'ole' Mcdonalds for a burger. We went to Libertyland, rode rides, something we all loved to do. I understood her feelings and appreciated notes she wrote to me. 

I remember Lisa coming into Elvis's bedroom one evening, sitting on his bed and as she stared at the television, he tapped me silently behind her. 'She has the same look in her eyes as me' he said. That look is not far away from her father's now. I truly wish we could have spoken later in life as I am sure she had many questions. 

May you rest in peace Lisa. You were loved and will be deeply missed❤️❤️❤️

Jerry Scheff posted: I am sad about Lisa Marie' passing

I never really met her, but I first saw her when my ex and I were invited to dinner with Elvis and Priscilla at their Holmby Hills house. Priscilla made chili. We were sitting having drinks before dinner when I looked down a hallway and saw Lisa Marie, walking in her robe and rubbing her eyes. I think she was about three. We had awakened her with our laughter. She was adorable and she obviously slept with her jewelry on: Earrings and a pendant necklace.

When she was about seven, I was right behind her while climbing aboard the Lisa Marie jet. Just inside door was a large drawer filled with candy. Lisa Marie was filling her pockets when the flight attendant suggested that she not fill up on candy because lunch would be served right after takeoff. Lisa Marie looked up with a big, cute, knowing, smile, shoved a piece of candy in her mouth, and said, 'I'll tell my daddy'.

I know that Lisa Marie had many ups and downs in her life, but as my stories above indicate, imagine growing up bathed in love as the only child of Elvis Presley.

My heart goes out to Priscilla, Lisa Marie's children, and loved ones. Jerry

Baz Luhrmann posted: Over the last year, the entire Elvis movie family and I have felt the privilege of Lisa Marie's kind embrace. Her sudden, shocking loss has devastated people all around the world. I know her fans everywhere join me in sharing prayers of love and support with her mother, Priscilla, and her wonderful daughters Riley, Finley and Harper. 

Lisa Marie, we will miss your warmth, your smile, your love.

SUN Records posted: We are saddened to hear about the passing of Lisa Marie Presley. 💔 Our thoughts are with Priscilla and Lisa Marie's family.

Tom Hanks played her father's manager Col Tom Parker in Baz Luhrmann's 2022 biopic Elvis. On behalf of the couple, Hanks' wife Rita Wilson posted on Instagram that their hearts were 'broken'. 'Tom and I had spent some time with the family during the Elvis movie promotional tour. Lisa Marie was so honest and direct, vulnerable, in a state of anticipation about the movie', she wrote.

'She spoke so eloquently about her father, what the movie meant to her, that it was a celebration of her dad'.

Sam Philips Recording posted: We are so deeply saddened at the devastating news this evening. Our deepest sympathy to the Presley family on the passing of Lisa Marie, Elvis and Priscilla's only daughter. She's been through so much. 

May she be in peace, resting with her son and father now. Our biggest love to those closest to her, our friend Jerry Schilling, Priscilla, and Lisa's three daughters. 

Nicolas Cage, who Presley was previously married to in the early aughts, said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, 'This is devastating news. Lisa had the greatest laugh of anyone I ever met. She lit up every room, and I am heartbroken. I find some solace believing she is reunited with her son Benjamin'.

John Travolta expressed his sympathy in a post: 'Lisa baby girl, I'm so sorry. I'll miss you but I know I'll see you again. My love and heart goes out to Riley, Priscilla, Harper and Finley'.

From Lisa Marie Presley's single 'Lights Out': 

'Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis
Ooh, that's where my family's buried and gone 
Last time I was there I noticed a space left
Oh, next to them there in Memphis, yeah
In the damn back lawn…'
