RadarOnline.com can reveal Riley Keough, the 35-year-old actress and granddaughter of Elvis Presley, had opened up about her late mother's grieving process.
Lisa Marie had her own way to cope with the death of her father.
In the upcoming CBS special, An Oprah Winfrey Special: The Presleys – Elvis, Lisa Marie And Riley, Keough spoke candidly about how her mother dealt with the untimely death of Elvis 47 years ago.
Oprah and Riley visited the iconic Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, for the intimate one-on-one interview.
Riley used the special to promote her mom's posthumous memoir, From Here To The Great Unknown.
She told Oprah: "Her grief was very... I don't think she knew how to process it. It was a very private thing for her. She would listen to his music alone, if she was drunk, and cry' over the years."
Riley Keough gave an interview about her mother Lisa Marie.
Oprah asked Riley if she witnessed her mother "many times or several times in that state of grief crying over her dad's music".
The actress answered: "Yes, I would walk in her room, and she had speakers – because this was back in the day – and she would be sitting on the floor crying, and she'd listen to her dad's music."
In another clip, Riley revealed how she came up with the memoir's name.
The Logan Lucky actress said: "It's a funny thing because this is a song that she duetted with her father."
"And she didn't want to at first. And she was convinced to sing the song, and for one I think it's a beautiful duet between the two of them. And secondly when I was trying to figure out what the book was about for me."
