States — Singer-songwriter Lisa Marie Presley, the only child of rock and roll icon Elvis Presley, has been laid to rest at the family’s legendary Tennessee home Graceland, where hundreds of fans and loved ones gathered Sunday for a public memorial service.
Crowds lined up at dawn in Memphis to pay tribute to the singer who died on January 12 at age 54, after she was rushed to hospital for cardiac arrest.
Lisa Marie’s mother and Elvis’s wife for six years until their divorce in 1973 — joined forces with performers including Alanis Morisette, Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose and Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan, to pay tribute.
“Grief is the price we pay for love,” the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, told the mourners, quoting her former mother-in-law — the late Queen of England Elizabeth II, who famously used those words to address the families of victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.
