Lisa Marie Presley recalls her 'eternal bond' with son Benjamin Keough 2 years after his death
Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough are remembering their late son and brother Benjamin Keough on the second anniversary of his death.
Benjamin Keough was the son of Presley and her ex-husband, singer-songwriter Danny Keough. The former couple also share daughter Riley, 33. Presley also shares twin daughters, Harper and Finley, 13, with guitarist Michael Lockwood, whom she was married to from 2006 to 2016.
Benjamin Keough died by suicide at the age of 27 on July 12, 2020. He was known by many for his resemblance to his grandfather, legendary musician Elvis Presley.
Presley reminisced about getting matching tattoos with her son on Mother's Day a few years ago.
Sharing a photo Tuesday of the ink, she explained, "It’s a Celtic eternity knot. Symbolizing that we will be connected eternally. We carefully picked it to represent our eternal love and our eternal bond."

Riley Keough shared a photo Tuesday with her brother from her wedding to Ben Smith-Petersen in February 2015.
"Not an hour goes by where I don’t think of you and miss you," the "Zola" actress captioned her tribute. "It’s been two years today since you left and I still can’t believe you’re not here. You are so loved my Ben Ben."
With the release of "Elvis," Presley's family has been in the spotlight for Baz Luhrman's musical drama on her late father.

In May, Presley shared that she took a social media break because she is "navigating through this hideous grief that absolutely destroyed and shattered my heart and my soul into almost nothing has swallowed me whole."
"Not much else aside from my other 3 children gets my time and attention anymore.
However, that being said, I do want to take a moment to let you know that I have seen Baz Luhrmann's movie 'Elvis' twice now, and let me tell you that it is nothing short of spectacular," she shared. "Austin Butler channeled and embodied my father’s heart and soul beautifully."
Presley added that seeing Riley, Harper and Finley's reactions to the film also brought her to tears.
Speaking of Benjamin, she wrote, "It breaks my heart that my son isn’t here to see it. He would have absolutely loved it as well."
