It Was All About Elvis
Recently, Priscilla Presley revealed that she believes Michael Jackson only married Lisa Marie because he was fascinated with Elvis Presley. Priscilla said, "I always felt that Michael Jackson loved Elvis, or respected Elvis, so I always felt that having the name associated with the name with his daughter, I was concerned." She added about what Lisa Marie told her, "'Mom, I'm really concerned.' 'I never see him. He is always gone.'"
It Was A Short Marriage
The Inquister reports, Jackson was Lisa's second husband, and the two first met when she was just a little girl in 1970. They reconnected in 1992 when she was still married to Danny Keough. They tied the knot in 1993, but their marriage didn't last long. Lisa Marie and Jackson kept in touch after their brief marriage ended, with their last chat taking place in 2005, four years before Jackson's death in June 2009.
