He was the son of a famous singer-songwriter, Lisa Marie Presley, and her ex-spouse, Danny Keough, an American musician. 

On October 21, 1992, Benjamin was born in Tampa, Florida, United States. He grew up along with his older sister, Riley Keough. Riley is famous for her role as Nora in the 2012 movie Magic Mike

The 28-year-old actor looked like his late maternal grandfather, Elvis Presley, who was an American actor and singer.

He signed a $5 million album deal with the Universal Music Publishing Group.

The former husband-wife duo was living blissfully and was even parenting their two adorable kids (Riley Keough b. 1989) and (Benjamin). But later, they partitioned their relationship on May 6, 1994, after six years of the marital relationship. 

Although they started living separately, the previous partner shared a good bond as a friend. Lisa still regards him as her close friend. Once, she said, “Danny is my best friend, always has been, always will be. I love him unconditionally, but we are not together”.

Lisa also helped him, claiming that he was wrongly abused and even did some favor to settle the allegation out of the court. Then, after all, they exchanged their marital vows on May 26, 1994. Everything was fine between them, but they split their relationship on January 18, 1996, citing irreconcilable differences.

Michael and Lisa parted. Michael married the American woman Debbie Rowe in 1996 but divorced another in 1999. Later on, without involving in any romantic relationship, the legendary singer, and dancer, died at the age of 50 on June 25, 2009
