In the newly released posthumous memoir From Here to the Great Unknown<\/em>, Lisa Marie Presley offers candid insights into her life, particularly her relationship with pop legend Michael Jackson. Released on October 8, the book, which was completed by her daughter Riley Keough after Presley\u2019s passing in January 2023, provides a deeply personal glimpse into her experiences.<\/p>\n

One of the book\u2019s most surprising revelations involves Jackson\u2019s confession that, at 35, he was still a virgin when he and Presley began their romantic relationship. \u201cMichael told me he had never been intimate with anyone,\u201d Presley writes, addressing long-standing speculation about the singer\u2019s private life. \u201cHe mentioned he had kissed Tatum O\u2019Neal and had a brief, non-physical connection with Brooke Shields. He also said Madonna had tried to pursue him, but nothing happened between them. I was nervous because I didn\u2019t want to make the wrong move.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their relationship took off after a fateful trip to Las Vegas, where Presley was still married to her first husband, Danny Keough. During that trip, Jackson confessed his feelings, marking the beginning of their whirlwind romance. \u201cMichael told me, \u2018I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve realized, but I\u2019m completely in love with you. I want us to get married, and I want you to have my children,\u2019\u201d Presley recalls. \u201cI was so taken aback that I didn\u2019t know what to say at first, but then I realized I felt the same way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following this emotional revelation, Presley amicably separated from Keough and quickly moved forward with Jackson. They wed in May 1994, only weeks after her divorce from Keough was finalized, and their marriage lasted more than two years before their divorce was finalized in August 1996. Their highly publicized union intrigued the world, but Presley\u2019s memoir offers a more personal perspective on their relationship.<\/p>\n

Jackson, who passed away in 2009 at the age of 50 from cardiac arrest, was often viewed as an enigma. In her memoir, Presley paints a portrait of a vulnerable man, revealing not just his insecurities but also the emotional depth he brought to their relationship.<\/p>\n

As the daughter of Elvis Presley, Lisa Marie lived much of her life in the spotlight. Her daughter, Riley Keough, touched on this reality in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE<\/em>. \u201cBecause my mom was Elvis\u2019s daughter, she was always the subject of public discussion and speculation,\u201d Keough said. \u201cIn her memoir, she looked forward to go beyond that surface-level frame and reflect who she really was, a loving mother, a free spirit, a loyal friend, and a talented artist who has witnessed her own struggles but always had a great sense of humor.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Presley\u2019s sudden death in January 2023, Keough took on the responsibility of finishing her mother\u2019s memoir, using voice recordings Presley had left behind. Keough, 35, emphasized that her mother\u2019s main goal in writing the book was to create a sense of connection. \u201cIn life like hers which is extraordinary, she wanted to share the human experiences of loss, love, and struggles in the family that everyone can relate to,\u201d Keough explained. \u201cHer hope with this book was inclined to make the mass feel less alone, and that\u2019s what I hope to carry forward with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

With its honesty and depth, From Here to the Great Unknown<\/em> provides a rare, intimate view into Lisa Marie Presley\u2019s life, her turbulent relationships, and her enduring resilience. The memoir is not only a reflection of her struggles but also a testament to the woman behind the fame, offering readers a more nuanced understanding of her complex and remarkable journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
