Access to Graceland’s upper level is restricted to public tours, however, before her death, Lisa Marie Presley occasionally retreated to the bedroom of her father, Elvis Presley, in hopes of speaking with the spirit your.
After Lisa Marie’s tragic death at age 54 a year ago, she is said to have sought solace in solitude or with loved ones in Elvis’s room.
As detailed in her posthumously released memoir, while residing in Nashville amid her addiction, Lisa Marie made the 200-mile journey to Graceland just to find the comfort of rest in her father’s bed.
In her contribution to the memoir titled “From Here to the Great Unknown”, Riley Keough, granddaughter of Elvis Presley, declared that “the only place where she found solace.. . desperate to connect with her father…she would lie on his bed, on his floor anything to feel comfortable.”
Lisa Marie and her children sometimes share Elvis’s oversized custom bed, which measures about 7 x 9. However, if they don’t leave the room before the morning tour begins, they will detained upstairs until 5 p.m.
Graceland staff served meals to the Presley family, which often included McDonald’s. This led to casual gatherings in Elvis’s bedroom, where they would spend time indulging in various activities.
There are also Priscilla Presley’s belongings still in the room; Her hair dryer symbolizes nostalgia. Young Presley children would gather around, imagining themselves in a glamorous beauty salon.
Meanwhile, Lisa Marie enthusiastically delves into her father’s collection of spiritual books, seeking a deeper connection with the King of Rock and Roll.
From Riley’s perspective, there was a deep sense of brokenness that both her mother and grandfather carried within them. She explains that her grandfather was always seeking to heal himself, longing for a greater purpose.
Lisa Marie, in desperation, is said to have meticulously analyzed every word Elvis had highlighted as if trying to unravel hidden meanings.
However, their contemplation was interrupted when a security guard suddenly appeared, handing them a tray of sausages and cookies.
“You can still feel him in that room, his spirit is in there,” the “Daisy Jones and the Six” star said.
Elvis died of a heart attack at the age of 42 on a tragic day in 1977 while in the private bathroom connected to his luxurious bedroom.
