Lisa Marie Presley said she will “forever mourn” her son’s death. In a lengthy letter posted to Instagram on Saturday, the singer paid respect to Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in July 2020 at the age of 27. “I haven’t posted in a long time because there isn’t much to say,” the daughter of Elvis Presley, 54, said. “I am and will forever be mourning the loss of my son.”
“Navigating through this heinous pain has taken me whole. It has completely ruined and shattered my heart and soul into nearly nothing.” Apart from my other three children, I don’t have much time or attention left.”Lisa Marie’s statement was accompanied by a promotional poster for Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming film “Elvis,” in which Austin Butler plays her father in the titular role.

“Absolutely exquisite,” she added, adding that she’d “eat her own foot” if Butler didn’t win an Oscar for the part.”Austin Butler beautifully channeled and portrayed my father’s heart and soul.” His performance, in my humble opinion, is unprecedented, and it is finally done accurately and politely.”
“Throughout this magnificent film, you can feel and witness Baz’s true love, care, and respect for my father, and it is finally something that myself, my children, and their children can be proud of forever,” she concluded. Riley Keough, 32, and twins Finley and Harper Lockwood, 13, were among Lisa Marie’s other children who had emotional reactions to the video.

“What moved me to tears as well was watching Riley and Harper, and later Finley, all three visibly overwhelmed in the best manner conceivable, and so filled with pride over their grandfather and his legacy in a level that I had not previously experienced,” she said. “It pains me that my son isn’t here to witness it.” He would have thoroughly enjoyed it as well.”
Benjamin died on July 12, 2020, at his home in Calabasas, California, as previously reported. His death was deemed a suicide by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office. He was laid to rest in Graceland three months after his death, alongside his grandfather Elvis Presley and several other family members.
