Elvis Presley’s grandson Benjamin Keough died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound today. Keough, 27, was the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and her ex-husband Danny Keough.
Presley’s publicist told the gossip site TMZ, “‘She is completely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated but trying to stay strong for her 11-year-old twins and her oldest daughter Riley. She adored that boy. He was the love of her life.”
People frequently comment on the resemblance between Benjamin Keough and his famous grandfather. Keough was a musician like his grandfather and mother. He signed a $5 million dollar record deal when he was 17 but not much ever came of his singing career. He had one acting credit, as a delivery guy in an unreleased short film.
In addition to his parent, Keough is survived by three sisters, actress and model Riley Keough and 11-year-old twins, Finley and Harper Lockwood and his grandmother, Priscilla Presley.
Storm and Grace
Lisa Marie Presley wrote a song about her son, called ‘Storm and Grace.’ Storm was Benjamin’s middle name.[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54FdQjUDhAA[/embedyt]
Storm and Grace lyrics:
That I’ve ever known
And too much held close to the bone
You got what it takes
Your storm and your grace
My heart can’t seem to take it
Your storm and your grace
That I’ve ever known
And a shell has been grown
Take your foot off the gas
Your storm and your grace
My heart can’t seem to take it
Your storm and your grace
Your storm and your grace
