It’s been more than three months since Riley Keough tragically lost her mother, Lisa Marie Presley, after she suffered a cardiac arrest at her home in California. But, as the saying goes, the show must go on. Currently on the campaign trail for her new series, Daisy Jones & The Six, the 33-year-old and granddaughter of musical icon, Elvis, has opened up about her incredible family legacy. “My whole family were musical, so I grew up with music and in that world. But the truth is I had never really sang or played guitar before this project came to me,” she tells WHO of the Prime Video series. “Growing up I always wanted to act, so I was always more focused on that than music.”
While questions regarding her family are inevitable with Keough playing the lead singer in a ’70s band – a decade that saw her grandfather’s fame soar both before and after his death in 1977 – it’s currently a contentious subject. Mere weeks after her mother’s passing, Keough was embroiled in a legal battle with her grandmother, Priscilla Presley, after the 77-year-old filed a lawsuit questioning the “authenticity and validity” of a 2016 amendment to Lisa Marie’s will, which removed her as a co-trustee and put Keough in charge.
