Benjamin Keough, son of Lisa Marie Presley and grandson of music legend Elvis Presley, passed tragically this year after taking his own life at the age of 27. Marie Presley was “entirely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated,” according to her rep, but was “trying to stay strong for her 11-year-old twins and her oldest daughter, Riley [Keough]. She adored that boy. He was the love of her life.”
