Elvis: The King's Tragic Legacy

Magazine

The unexpected death on January 12 of Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, shook the nation. Famous from birth, she grew up in the spotlight and gravitated to music, just like Elvis Presley. Lisa Marie, who was 54, worked hard to forge her own identity in rock, even as she became the sole inheritor of her father’s estate. This special tribute issue looks at the parallels between Elvis and Lisa Marie, from their shared love of rock ‘n’ roll to their personal demons. It follows her charmed childhood at Graceland through her parents’ divorce, her loves (including Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage) and losses (her son died from suicide in 2020). We also trace Elvis’ story from his humble beginnings in Tu...pelo, Mississippi to his first album with Sun Records and his meteoric rise to become one of the world’s greatest entertainers. Join us as we take a deep dive through both Elvis and Lisa Marie’s hits and albums, revisit their highs and lows, and delve into their joint legacy. This special tribute issue provides a treasured keepsake for fans and collectors everywhere. more
