In a context in which Michael Jackson was facing his first accusations of sexual abuse and was not satisfied with his latest production “Dangerous”, because it did not achieve the success of “Thriller”, everyone assured that the marriage he entered into with the only one Elvis Presley ‘s daughter , Lisa Marie , was only a smokescreen to cushion the blows that the King of Pop suffered in 1994.

The marriage was suddenly announced through a statement in which they revealed: the celebration took place in an austere manner and without guests, so speculations about falling in love soon arose and doubts remained throughout the relationship.
The first time the couple was seen in public: it was at the MTV Awards (1995), where many claim, the forced behavior of their behavior in front of the press was noticeable.

Michael finally settled the lawsuit of Jordie Chandler, a boy who had reported him for sexual abuse, with 20 million dollars, after being photographed naked by experts to verify the information that the complainant had made. But the tension in the press regarding their relationship continued.

Lisa’s mother, Priscilla Presley, despite being accustomed to eccentricities like her daughter due to her connection with Elvis Presley, never agreed with the marriage because she was sure that Marie was being used for other purposes.

It was thus, under all these tensions, that Marie and Michael decided to end their relationship, after two years of living together in the King of Pop’s mansion, Neverland, where his employees claimed that Marie secluded herself in a room daily away from Michael.

After her relationship with the artist of the moment, Marie had other marriages, one of them with the actor Nicolas Cage, but the longest lasting was with the producer Michael Lockwood, with whom she had twins.

Yesterday, January 12, Lisa Marie Presley died of a heart attack, just like what happened to the king of Rock and Roll.

Both used opioids in the form of painkillers, as did Michael, although for different reasons, they all died suddenly.
