Lisa Marie Presley was filled with a “sense” her father Elvis Presley was going to die hours before his shock passing.
The singer – who died after suffering a heart attack in January 2023 aged 54 – was living with the rock icon at his iconic Graceland estate at the time of his death aged 42, which came after years of his abuse of prescription pills.
Lisa’s actress daughter Riley Keough, 35, has now told how her mum had a premonition he would die during a TV sit-down with Oprah Winfrey, 70 – in her first major interview since her mother’s death.
She said about Lisa’s time with Elvis in Graceland: “I think she got a lot of intimate time up there with him.
Riley added in a preview of the chat, which airs in full on Tuesday (08.10.24), her mother woke up the morning of Elvis’ death on August 16, 1977, and “instinctively” knew “something was off” – even though she was only aged nine at the time.
She added: “She said goodnight to him and I think she knew (when) saying goodnight like she had some kind of sense (about his death.)
“I think she had a sense many times that he wasn’t OK. She would tell me that sometimes she would find him in his bathroom looking kind of out of it or holding onto the railing to stand up straight.”
Riley also said Lisa her mother used to write ominous “letters” predicting Elvis’ death.
She went on: “She used to write these letters when she was little kinda saying, ‘I hope my daddy doesn’t die’.
“So there was kind of a sense there.”
Riley recently finished work completely her mother’s unfinished memoir, titled ‘From Here to the Great Unknown’.
In the book, which is due out on 8 October, Lisa discusses her unconventional childhood, as well as her battles with addiction and Elvis’ death.
