'The keeper of the flame.' Over one thousand people gathered on the front lawn of Graceland at a memorial service for Lisa Marie Presley, singer, songwriter and daughter of Elvis. Lisa Marie died Jan. 12 after she was taken to a hospital in California.
Among those who spoke during the service were Lisa Marie’s mother, actress Priscilla Presley; Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York; Jerry Schilling, a close friend of Elvis; and former Memphis Mayor A C Wharton, who called Lisa Marie’s parents Memphis’ royal couple and a “conduit to the throne, the keeper of the flame.”
Music punctuated the service. Billy Corgan, lead singer of The Smashing Pumpkins, played acoustic guitar and sang “To Sheila;” Alanis Morissette sang “Rest;” Axl Rose, of Guns N’ Roses, played piano and sang “November Rain;” and The Blackwood Brothers Quartet performed two songs. “She was born into the public, born into fame. That’s hard for some people,” Clark said. “She handled it like a champ. I think.”
