Lisa Marie Presley has paid tribute to her son Benjamin Keough on the second anniversary of his death and shared a sweet way they are still connected.
Benjamin, the grandson of music legend Elvis Presley, tragically died by suicide in 2020 at the age of 27.
His 54-year-old mother has now revealed a heartwarming way she is ‘eternally’ connected to her son through their matching tattoos.
Lisa Marie opened up about their special inks, which they had done on Mother’s Day a few years ago, the design being of a Celtic eternity knot on their feet.
Alongside a photo of her and her late son’s feet showcasing their tattoos, Lisa Marie penned: ‘My son and I got these matching tattoos on our feet.’
As 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.’
She finished the caption with an emoji of a broken heart.
The singer-songwriter has been very open on social media about the ‘hideous’ and heartbreaking grief she’s experienced since Benjamin’s death.
A few months ago, Lisa Marie expressed how she would be grieving ‘forever’ over her son and that her loss has ‘shattered her heart’.
In a heartfelt post, she began: ‘I haven’t posted in quite some time because there really isn’t much to say, as I am and will forever be mourning the loss of my son.
‘Navigating through this hideous grief that absolutely destroyed and shattered my heart and my soul into almost nothing has swallowed me whole.’
