Lisa Marie Presley's memoir claims she took Michael Jackson's virginity when he was 35
Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of rock n roll legend Elvis Presley, claimed in her posthumous memoir that Michael Jackson was still a virgin when they began their relationship.
Lisa Marie passed away in 2023, aged just 54 years old.
The cause of her death was confirmed to be a 'small bowel obstruction' caused by a previous bariatric surgery.
Prior to her passing, she had been working on her memoir From Here To The Great Unknown, which was completed by her daughter, Riley Keough, following her death, with the help of recordings.

Lisa Marie was married to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, between 1994 and 1996.
In her memoir, she details the early days of their relationship, writing: “I thought he was lonely and needed a friend. But he was pursuing me,” before adding that they would speak on the phone for 'long periods of time.'
She shared that he eventually told her: “''I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m completely in love with you. I want us to get married and for you to have my children'.
"I didn’t say anything immediately, but then I said, 'I’m really flattered, I can’t even talk.' By then, I felt I was in love with him too."
But it was the admission about their sex life that is sure to raise eyebrows.
It turns out that shortly after their relationship went official, it transpired Michael was still a virgin.
She wrote: "I think he had kissed Tatum O'Neal, and he'd had a thing with Brooke Shields, which hadn't been physical apart from a kiss. He said Madonna had tried to hook up with him once, too, but nothing happened.
"I was terrified because I didn't want to make the wrong move."
Lisa Marie noted that the duo 'went back and forth a lot' following their divorce.
Michael died in 2009 as a result of a cardiac arrest, caused by a propofol and benzodiazepine overdose.
Lisa Marie's daughter, Riley, revealed what drove her to finish her mother's memoir to PEOPLE. She said: "Because my mother was Elvis Presley’s daughter, she was constantly talked about, argued over and dissected."
She continued: “What she wanted to do in her memoir, and what I hope I’ve done in finishing it for her, is to go beneath the magazine headline idea of her and reveal the core of who she was.
"To turn her into a three-dimensional human being: the best mother, a wild child, a fierce friend, an underrated artist, frank, funny, traumatised, joyous, grieving, everything that she was throughout her remarkable life.
"I want to give voice to my mother in a way that eluded her while she was alive.”
