Lisa Marie Presley Memoir Details Opioid Struggles

Lisa Marie Presley's posthumous memoir, 'From Here to the Great Unknown', reveals her struggles with opioid addiction that began after the birth of her twins in 2008. Completed by her daughter, Riley Keough, the memoir details how a short-term prescription for pain led to a severe addiction, which Presley described as 'withdrawal in the big leagues'. She reflects on her experiences with addiction, acknowledging its prevalence in her life and the impact of losing loved ones to drug-related issues. The book aims to foster understanding and connection regarding the challenges of addiction, with Keough emphasizing her mother's desire for readers to relate to her story. Presley had previously discussed her addiction in a foreword for Harry Nelson's 2019 book, illustrating her ongoing battle and desire to shed light on this issue. The memoir is set for release on October 8, 2023.
