PRISCILLA'S HEARTACHE

She posted a photo of herself and Lisa Marie on Instagram, along with a brief caption confirming that she had been hospitalized.

Priscilla captioned the snap: "My beloved daughter Lisa Marie was rushed to the hospital.

"She is now receiving the best care. Please keep her and our family in your prayers."

The star continued: "We feel the prayers from around the world, and ask for privacy during this time."

LISA'S TRAGEDY

Lisa Marie went into “full [cardiac] arrest” and was given adrenaline at least once to help her regain her pulse, TMZ reported.

The outlet reported that her housekeeper found her unresponsive in the bedroom of her home.

Lisa Marie's ex-husband Danny Keough is said to have administered CPR on the scene.

She was then taken to an Intensive Care Unit for further treatment.

Late Thursday evening it was reported that she was on life support and had a temporary pacemaker.

Photos obtained by the outlet showed Lisa Marie's mother, Priscilla, arriving at the hospital to be by her side.

Lisa Marie's half-sister Deborah Presley Brando was also seen outside the hospital.

She appeared somber, holding a tissue in her hand.

A family source told The U.S. Sun that not much information about the singer's prior health status has been shared.

She looked frail in the days before the incident, including at the Golden Globe Awards on Tuesday where she clung to Elvis star Austin Butler.

LASTING LEGACY

Born on February 1, 1968, she is the sole heir to her father's estate, with the legendary entertainer dying when she was just nine years old.

Lisa Marie lived between Los Angeles with Priscilla and Graceland with her father.

She told Rolling Stone in 2003 that Elvis had an "electrifying" presence.

She said: " I'm talking about somebody in my eyes that was, to me, so overwhelmingly grand and powerful -- and sometimes dark, depending on mood.

"And there was that for the first nine years of my life."

In another interview, Lisa Marie said that her father kissed her and put her to bed the night before his death, then she woke up and realized something was wrong.

“I knew something was wrong, because I was in my room which was right next to his bathroom,” she said.

“So I knew that something was very wrong. All the commotion and everything. I was a wreck.”

Lisa Marie added that she was “a mess” but was confused at the time because of how upset she was.

But, she revealed that there was not a single "bad memory".

Lisa Marie said: "Anything my father did for me or gave me was done out of love and I took it as that."

She was also a savvy businesswoman and released several albums including To Whom It May Concern, Now What, and Storm & Grace.

Her first album went platinum, with critics praising it for its distinctive flair.

She has also spoken out in support of sufferers of AIDS.

Lisa Marie was married and divorced four times and had four children: Riley Keough, Benjamin Keough, Finley Aaron Love Lockwood, and Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood.

Benjamin died by suicide in 2020 after shooting himself during a birthday party for his girlfriend at Lisa Marie's home.

She was open about how challenging that loss was for her.

SERIOUS STRUGGLES

Lisa Marie's life was full of both joy and struggles.

She was first married to Danny, a musician, and the pair went on to have two children before their divorce in 1994.

Twenty days after her divorce was finalized, the singer married Michael Jackson in 1994.

They met in 1975 when a seven-year-old Lisa Marie attended several of his concerts in Las Vegas, later becoming friends in her adult life in 1992 as she helped him through some difficult times.

It wasn't meant to be, however, and the couple split in 1996.

She then married actor Nicholas Cage, with that marriage lasting just 108 days in 2002.

Finally, she married Michael Lockwood and stayed with him for a decade.

The pair separated and found themselves locked in a contentious split that was still ongoing at the time of her death.

The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that the pair were in court despite settling the divorce, as he begged for thousands in attorneys fees, according to court documents.
