The Tragic Story of Ben Keough – Elvis's Grandson Who Died at 27

In July 2020, Elvis Presley's only grandson died at 27, and his mother chose to keep him at home, close to her, for two months. Today, mother and son rest side by side at Graceland. This is Ben's life, told in order. Benjamin Storm Presley Keough was born in 1992 with a famous name and a face that made strangers stop and look. His mother, Lisa Marie Presley, called the likeness "just uncanny", and later wrote that he was so much like his grandfather that he scared her. This video follows his life as far as his family has chosen to tell it: a childhood kept out of the spotlight, the questions about music, the private years of addiction and depression, his death in 2020, and his mother's grief. It ends with her burial beside him at Graceland in 2023. The account draws on reporting of From Here to the Great Unknown, the memoir Riley Keough completed from her mother's tapes, and on Lisa Marie's 2022 essay on grief. This video discusses addiction and suicide. If you are struggling, help is available: US: call or text 988 (https://988lifeline.org) International directory: https://findahelpline.com
