Elvis and Priscilla with newborn Lisa Marie, 1968

Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of music icon Elvis Presley and actress Priscilla Presley, was born on February 1, 1968, at the Baptist Memorial Hospital-Memphis in Memphis, Tennessee. Her arrival came nine months after her parents' wedding, and she spent her early years splitting her time between Los Angeles, where she lived with her mother after her parents divorced, and Graceland, her father's famous home in Memphis.

Presley's childhood took a dramatic turn when her father passed away in 1977. At just nine years old, she became a joint heir to his estate, sharing the inheritance with her grandfather and great-grandmother. After their passing, she became the sole heir to her father's vast fortune, which was valued at around $100 million when she turned 25 in 1993. In 2004, she made the controversial decision to sell 85 percent of her father's estate.

Despite the challenges of growing up in the shadow of her father's legacy, Presley found her

own passion for music. In the late 1970s, after her father's passing, she attended her first rock concert, where she saw Queen at The Forum in Inglewood, California. She was immediately captivated by the energy and theatrics of the performance and went on to pursue a career in music, releasing three studio albums and multiple singles throughout her career.

Presley's personal life has also been marked by its share of ups and downs. In an interview with Playboy in 2003, she revealed that shortly after her father's death, her mother began

dating actor Michael Edwards, who Presley said would enter her room intoxicated and behave inappropriately. She also has a half-brother, Navarone Garibaldi, from her mother's relationship with Marco Garibaldi.

In 1997, Presley made a touching tribute to her late father by creating a posthumous duet of "Don't Cry Daddy," which was presented at the tribute concert marking the 20th anniversary of Elvis' death. The video featured new instrumentation and vocals from Lisa Marie, blending seamlessly with her father's original recording.

Kennedy Jr. and Del Bigtree have suggested without evidence that Aaron's death was caused by receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
