In this video, we delve deep into the lives of the Presley family, uncovering the layers of triumph and tragedy that have shaped their legacy. We start with the early life of Elvis Presley, exploring how his humble beginnings in Tupelo, Mississippi, and the loss of his twin brother set the stage for a life of incredible highs and devastating lows. We reveal the untold stories of his struggles with health and addiction, leading to his premature death at the age of 42.
The narrative then shifts to Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis' daughter, who inherited not just the Presley fortune but also the burdens that came with it. We explore her own battles with addiction and the financial troubles that plagued her life, culminating in her untimely death. The story of Lisa Marie is a poignant reflection on the personal costs of living under the shadow of an iconic figure.
We also focus on Benjamin Keough, Lisa Marie's son and Elvis' grandson, who bore a striking resemblance to his grandfather. Benjamin’s life, marked by the challenges of upholding the Presley legacy, ended tragically, adding another chapter to the family's history of sorrow.
Further adding to the narrative, we touch upon the connection between the Presley family and another music legend, Michael Jackson, and how their lives were intertwined both in life and in the manner of their passing.
Throughout this video, we examine the idea of a "Presley family curse" and what it signifies. Is it merely a series of unfortunate coincidences, or does it reflect a deeper, more complex narrative about the price of fame and the impact of living in the public eye?
Join us as we unravel the intricate and often heart-wrenching story of the Presley family. From the highs of Elvis’ groundbreaking music career to the personal lows faced by his descendants, this video paints a comprehensive picture of a family that has become an integral part of American cultural history.
Dive into the world of the Presleys with us, and discover the untold stories behind the music and the headlines. This is not just a journey through the annals of music history; it's an exploration of the human experience, marked by triumph, tragedy, and the enduring legacy of one of the world's most famous families.

The Story of Elvis Presley’s Grandson Is Even Sadder Than His

[@FactsVerse]

Do you know why Priscilla Presley did not marry Elvis? Find out why here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZ68lX-Pl7Gpjs0

[@GM8101PHX]

You are a liar, she married Elvis in Las Vegas and it was televised, go away with your lies!! Elvis is gone and all you can do is smear the name!!

She did marry him.

[@antoniareviews]

Priscilla the movie was such an eye opener for me

[@debraanderson1511]

Don't believe anything you see in the movie. Elvis is dead and can't defend himself. Priscilla's been bashing Elvis for decades making money off of him. Her story is a lie. If you want to know the truth about Priscilla please go to your library and get the book child bride by Susan finstad. That will be an Ina opener to you. You'll find out she wasn't a virgin when she met Elvis you'll find out how many boys he slept with you'll find out how she used and abused her own daughter. That's an eye-opener. All of Elvis's ex-girlfriends have claimed that he never tried to control them never told him what to wear. This woman is a liar and all she cares about is her Fame and making money offered this poor man who's not here to defend himself

Utterly tragic! RIP Ben.

[@Elvis_Pond5]

I knew Lisa Presley and Ben. Ben didn't have a close father figure and mostly remained around females so he had an identity crisis. I noticed he had severe psychological problems and was very disconnected as he didn't understand how to properly interact with other males as he grew up in an all-female family which made him feel like an outcast. Ben said he hated being a Presley. Ben would probably be alive today if he were allowed to spend time with his father Danny. Also, if Ben were still alive then so would Lisa.

To me Benjamin always looked unhappy, even as a young child, that is why Lisa was so close to him..and when he died..Lisa died too. It is all so heartbreaking. I do feel Scientology played a big part in their too short lives. Why was Ben not close to Danny?

Elvis was an ordinary southern boy, child of the Great Depression. Personally charming and quite good looking. A modest guy, too. Gifted musically and made that the focus of his life. But that’s it. Right now, today, there are ordinary southern men with all of that living quietly and working for a living. I really believe that if you gave $100 million dollars and endless celebrity to any of them there who’d be more than a fifty fifty chance that they would destroy themselves….and their families within a few decades because money and celebrity are poison at that kind of dose.

And who got them into scientology? Miss Prissy. Elvis Presley's been rolling in his grave. He was approached by the Scientologist and Elvis being very open-minded to all religions listened.

Penso che nella famiglia Presley la notorietà dei personaggi che vi appartengono abbia giocato senz'altro un ruolo importante perché costantemente sotto i riflettori dovendo dimostrare qualità anche morali e non solo artistiche, dal momento che la famiglia è tra le più iconiche d'America e del mondo. Elvis è stato ed è tuttora, la leggenda che ha determinato una rivoluzione musicale e sociale per il mondo intero. Ma da quello che si legge, sembra ci fossero anche componenti genetiche a causare morti in età giovane : la madre di Elvis(con tendenza anche a depressione) Elvis stesso, degli zii di Elvis (fratelli di Gladys), Lisa Marie. Il nipote di Elvis forse (dico forse perché non sono un medico e non ho competenze, ma esprimo solo un parere a sensazione) aveva un carattere talmente sensibile da sentirsi non abbastanza all'altezza dei confronti con il celebre nonno.....al quale somigliava tanto fisicamente. Non so ma è molto triste sentire certe notizie . Tragedie che accadono anche in famiglie che non sono famose , ma sono sempre tragiche Spero si siano ritrovati davvero tutti , adesso.....🙏🙏🌺🌺 in pace

I don't believe in curses. Stress and fame...His mother was heartbroken by the loss of Jesse and she seemed to worry about Elvis a lot.

You can actually see their hearts and feel the pain in their lives. I don't think they ever felt true happiness....God know's the minute we are conceived and even before that...We are not perfect but we seem to care too much and no amount of money or anything else that is of this world can make a true Christian happy....We are not of this world,just passing through...Eternity is either Heaven or hell.

Get your FACTS Straight!!!! Lisa Marie was in REHAB When Benjamin & Riley were GROWN --- She was addicted to Opiates ---- She Even spoke about being addicted to a narcotic and asked people to NOT Judge others that are addicts - I'VE BEEN THERE -- ITS NOT FUN AND NOT A CHOICE WHEN A DOC FEEDS THEM TO YOU OT TELLING YOU THERE ARE HARMFUL / ADDICTIVE -- ITS AN EPIDEMIC IN THE USA AS LISA MARIE SAID - IN AN ARTICLE -- - (( PEOPLE MAGAZINE )) "I was recovering after the [2008] birth of my daughters, Vivienne and Finley, when a doctor prescribed me opioids for pain," she continued. "It only took a short-term prescription of opioids in the hospital for me to feel the need to keep taking them" due to their dangerous addictive properties. "[It's] a difficult path to overcome this dependence, and to put my life back together," she added in the foreword. "Even in recent years, I have seen too many people I loved struggle with addiction and die tragically from this epidemic. It is time for us to say goodbye to shame about addiction. We have to stop blaming and judging ourselves and the people around us … That starts with sharing our stories." In the book, Lisa Marie specifically mentioned her children as the purpose to stay sober. "As I write this, I think of my four children, who gave me the purpose to heal," she wrote after considering "the countless parents who have lost children to opioids and other drugs." "[I'm] grateful to be alive today… and to have four beautiful children who have given me a sense of purpose that has carried me through dark times," she added.

I don't know why kids of very famous people feel they have to live up to the fame and talents of a parent or grandparent. How ridiculous, each and every human being is unique. Our children come with their own gifts, their own abilities or talents. They have to pursue their own passions, and if they don't have any then let them be. THEY DONT HAVE TO BE FAMOUS SINGERS, OR ACTORS, OR PAINTERS, OR WRITERS, OR COMPOSORS. Maybe they just want to be Mr or Miss Average, with just a menial job somewhere. Though there is no such thing as a menial job in my book. The greatest thing about Elvis Presley was not his looks, or his talent, or his charisma., though he had all of those things, ... His greatest attribute was his loving heart. We the public sensed it, felt it, knew it. Elvis showed the same respect and courtesy to the cleaner, as he did to the C.E.O. Beautiful loving Ben just had to be himself. ....and no, I do NOT believe in curses. Thank you for this video.

[@user-yq7en1nx7g]

На Элвиса он был похож. Но копией его он и не должен был быть он же не клон его. А если посмотреть так Элвис оставил много плохого своим потомкам. Сам был наркоман, алкоголик, психо больной и Лиза увлекалась наркотой лечилась и Бен алкоголил и норкотил. Не были бы такие богатые и наркоту не употребляли бы. Всех людей в этом мире портят деньги. Пример Фредди Меркьюри пока был беден жил с Мери 6 лет. Только пришла слава богатство сразу стал геем и на Мери не женился. А небыло бы богатство и жил бы до сех пор.

[@dorisbrown5528]

Benjamin may have just felt he wanted to be in music, but Lisa Marie let her children decide on their own what they might like to do in life for a living. Look how late in life Lisa Marie started her own music career. I do not believe in curses. Elvis just worked himself to death and had many health issues. If you read Elvis, Destiny TO Die Young, explains why he suffered so many ailments.

[@catherinegraham4561]

I pray that Elvis did that before Lisa Marie did, because if he had been alive and healthy face a call from Priscilla telling him that she was dead. It would’ve killed him right there on the spot. Those two were like super glued together. She was his pride and joy, and he was her pride and joy. She loved him too early in life, but if he is alive, I pray that he died before he had to hear that she died, if he still alive I hope that he’s better than he was and I’m glad that he did what he did because he had to get rid of Tom Park some how and that was probably the only way

[@wisdomseeker3362]

The mansion in Calabasas is _full of mold_ ❗ Lisa moved them all out of the mansion , but Benjamin went back to live and Lisa begged him to leave . He did not. Black mold and drugs cause bad health conditions . The two did not help his depression.😢

[@BrendaBooher-hw4mf]

There are both truths and untruths here. I don't think that Ben felt like he had to live up to Elvis, Lisa or anyone. Ben suffered from depression and a lacked of identity. Scientology didn't help. Ben needed his father and or a strong male figure in his life. I know that it broke Lisa Marie's heart when she lost Ben cause I lost both of my daughters who were only 21 and 22 in a terrible accident. It's a Mother's worst nightmare cause we aren't supposed to outlive our children. Family curses, why would they be cursed. May Elvis and all of his family rest in peace.

I don't know how putting a shotgun in your mouth parallels how Elvis died. Both Benjamin and his mother could have lived normal lives they had plenty of money but squandered it away and being in a church that probably took its share as well meant they had to do things to keep the money coming in. It's not a curse they were all blessed they just never learned how to handle fame and fortune it doesn't come with instructions.

[@sandyt7225]

Not a Scientologist. But people overlook the fact that both of them were grown and could of gotten out if they were that unhappy. They chose not to do that. Plus they all got out in 2014. So that is just another fake excuse for their choices.

[@MarkS-ir6db]

The Presley "Curse" was fueled by drug use. Benjamin shot himself in front of his girlfriend at her birthday party. Quite a mean thing to do. Lisa Marie also did many mean things though she said she was very protective of her children (in her mind) but did many things just to piss off her mother Priscilla, like her many marriages without Priscilla's blessing(except maybe her first husband) but Lisa Marie was always making last minute decisions that ended up being very dumb and costing a lot of her inherited money. She probably never told Priscilla about her 7 stomach operations for weight loss and it was the last one, a stomach staple of sorts that caused a strangling of her inner organs that finally killed her cutting off her blood circulation causing her to pass out and die at her Calabasas home. Quite a tragedy for Benjamin and Lisa Marie who if they just stayed off drugs and refuse anything to do with Scientology from the very beginning when Priscilla introduced it to them.

Go to the top of the thread there's a gentleman there I forgot his name who says that he knows a friend of Ben's and said that Ben could not stand his granny Priscilla she always pressured him and she always put him down that he was achieving nothing. When you have that enormous pressure on you when you feel like you have to live up to an icon like Elvis Presley that causes tremendous stress and depression in your life. And that's what I believe happened.
