Benjamin Keough, son of Lisa Marie Presley and grandson of Elvis Presley has died of an apparent suicide. He was only 27 years old.According to law enforcement Benjamin appears to have taken his own life Sunday in Calabasas. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Despite being apart of one of the most famous families in music’s history, not much is known about Ben. He is the son of Lisa and musician, Danny Keough. He also has a sister, Riley Keough, who has appeared in several big-name indie and horror films such as “Mad Max” and 2019’s “The Lodge.”
His grandparents were Elvis and Priscilla Presley and if you don’t recognize those names then you have been living under a rock your whole life.
Throughout his life, Ben has pretty much kept a low-profile. He is probably most known for looking almost identical to his famous grandfather, The King himself.
His mother Lisa addressed the likeness saying, “Ben does look so much like Elvis. He was at the Opry and was the quiet storm behind the stage.” She went on to say, “Everybody turned around and looked when he was over there. Everybody was grabbing him for a photo because it is just uncanny.” She even wrote a song about her son called “Storm and Grace.” Storm is Benjamin’s middle name.
Ben was also a musician following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. In 2009 he landed a record deal worth $5 million. He has several small acting gigs but aside from that, he was not a very public person.
In fact, the last time he was seen out with the family was during Elvis’ 40 year death anniversary during a vigil at Graceland in 2017.
