On January 22, Lisa Marie Presley passed away. Hundreds of the artist’s relatives gathered on the lawn in front of the house where the late singer lived as a child with her father – Elvis Presley. The property has been converted into a museum, and the tourist attraction is visited by hundreds of thousands of fans of Lisa Marie’s father, who died in 1977, every year.
The funeral began with the crowd singing “Amazing Grace” by Jason Clark and The Tennessee Mass Choir.
There were no stars at the ceremony. Lisa Marie Presley’s farewell was attended by musician Billy Corgan known as the frontman of The Smashing Pumpkins, the star of the 90s, Alanis Morissette and singer – Axl Rose. All three expressed their sadness as best they can – through music.

The artist gave a short speech before the performance.
“I feel like I should text Lisa right now and tell her I’m here and how wonderful it is. Never in a million years would I have imagined singing here, especially under these circumstances. It’s devastating, I’m sure everyone present is heartbreaking and all of us are deeply affected by her passing,” said the Guns N’ Roses singer.
“Lisa was extremely proud – as much as anyone can be. She was proud of her father and his achievements, his place in the history of music, America and the world. She was a great friend, a lovely person, a beautiful and kind soul and a valued family member, who will miss her forever.”
Lisa Marie Presley was called the “princess of rock and roll”. Like her father, she chose a music career. She released three solo albums – “To Whom It May Concern”, “Now What #9” and “Storm&Grace”.
