I was 17 when I wrote this article back in 1992 for The Elvis Beat #3, my official Elvis Presley Fan Club newsletter.
Lisa Marie Presley gave birth to Elvis’ second grandchild and first grandson on October 21 in Tampa, Florida. The 7-pound, 8-ounce boy is the second child of Lisa and her husband, musician Danny Keough. Danielle, their first child, is now three. […] The baby was not named until almost a month after his birth. On November 19, the name was finally announced to the world: Benjamin Storm Keough. […]
As usual, the tabloids had a field day and made accusations that Lisa wants nothing to do with her father or his fans and intends that Benjamin never learn of his famous grandfather. […] Fans should remember to keep all of this in perspective – these same tabloids are responsible for thousands of bogus stories, including idiotic claims that Elvis is alive, various pieces of untrue trash about Elvis, and other memorable headlines, such as: “Aliens stole my face!”
Don’t be quick to draw conclusions based on this so-called “news.” We never believe the tabloids’ strange Elvis stories, so we certainly should not believe similar stories about his daughter. Lisa deserves the privacy Elvis was never given […].
Lisa, who is 24, lives with her husband in Los Angeles and there has been much speculation that she will soon follow in both of her parents’ footsteps and pursue an acting career. […] With Elvis as their grandfather, and a musician as their father, maybe Danielle and Benjamin will be the musical duo of the 21st century.
