Almost a year to the day of her mother Lisa Marie Presley‘s death, Riley Keough has announced a posthumous project on her behalf.
The Daisy Jones & The Six star took to social media to share the news.
“I’m honoured to help put my mother’s book out for her,” Keough, 34, wrote in the caption of a photo of her as a little girl with her mother she shared on Instagram.

“Her autobiography will be out in October with @randomhouse and you can pre order it now with the link in my bio,” she continued, before linking to the book’s website.
Presley, who was the only child of Elvis Presley and his ex-wife Priscilla Presley, was hospitalised following an apparent cardiac arrest on January 12, 2023, and died aged 54 hours later.

An autopsy later determined her cause of death was due to “sequelae of a small bowel obstruction.”
The book is scheduled for release on October 15.

Following Presley’s death, Keough – who is the late singer’s eldest child with her first husband Danny Keough – was named the sole trustee of Presley’s estate, a move that also made her the owner of Elvis Presley’s Memphis home, Graceland.
That only happened, however, after a months-long legal battle with Priscilla Presley, sparking rumours of a feud between the grandmother and granddaughter.
In 2016, seven years before her death, Presley had quietly amended her trust to remove her mother and Barry Siegel as co-trustees, and appointed Keough and her brother Benjamin Keough as co-trustees instead.

Benjamin Keough, however, died aged 27 in 2020, leaving Keough as the sole trustee of her mother’s estate – something Priscilla Presley didn’t find out until her daughter’s death, and consequently contested in court.
Following a months-long legal dispute, Keough and Priscilla Presley quietly reached a settlement in May, which involved a hefty payout to Priscilla Presley from Keough.
