Elvis Presley’s Grandson Was ‘Just Like Him’ – And It Left Lisa Marie Presley Extremely Worried

by Peace A

Published February 22, 2025

Elvis presley’s grandson

Lisa Marie Presley often spoke about the uncanny resemblance and similarity between her son, Benjamin Keough, and her father, Elvis Presley. It was quite spooky that Benjamin not only looked like Elvis but also sounded and acted like him.

These unsettling similarities had Lisa Marie worried because it was a constant reminder of her father’s legacy and absence. Even though he never met the Presley patriarch, Benjamin’s life resurrected the memories of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll nearly every time.

Elvis Presley’s grandson Benjamin died prematurely, just like him

Unfortunately, Benjamin’s life ended too soon, in 2020, when he committed suicide at 27. It felt just like his grandfather’s untimely death at the age of 42. Benjamin carried the weight of the Presley legacy as he fought through the struggles of being part of a legendary family and creating his own identity.

Benjamin’s friends noticed how often he would feel pressure to keep up with the Presley name, even if his mother tried to shield him from it. Lisa Marie attempted to provide her children with a semblance of normalcy, but the weight of Presley fame could not be avoided.

Lisa Marie and her son were close to each other

The bond between Benjamin and Lisa Marie was so strong, as they communicated and talked about everything. After his death, Benjamin’s older sister, Riley Keough, observed that their mother had a tough time accepting the loss. She could not picture herself without Benjamin, with whom she shared matching tattoos.

She got a tattoo artist to ink her collarbone after Benjamin’s passing. Lisa Marie herself passed away in 2023, three years after the death of her son. She had previously explained that her life with Benjamin was as intimate as the one Elvis had with his mother, suggesting deep familial attachment across the family generations.
