Superstar artists Alanis Morissette and Billy Corgan delivered musical tributes to Lisa Marie Presley during her memorial service.
During the public memorial service at the Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, The Smashing Pumpkins frontman and ‘Ironic singer’ performed tributes to Elvis Presley’s only child.
Though he chose not to speak during the service, Corgan sang The Smashing Pumpkins 1982 ballad, ‘To Sheila’ and shared his thoughts on Lisa’s death via social media, writing, “There is heartbreak and then there is sorrow. This would be sorrow and on more levels than I can count.”
Also opting not to talk, but accompanied by a pianist, Morissette performed her 2021 song ‘Rest’ during the ceremony.
The service started with Jason Clark and The Tennessee Mass Choir’s version of ‘Amazing Grace,’ Axl Rose performed the Guns N’ Roses classic ‘November Rain’ on the piano and The Blackwood Brothers gospel quartet sang ‘How Great Thou Art and Sweet Sweet Spirit,’ both of which were performed previously by Lisa Marie’s late father Elvis Presley.
Lisa Marie died on January 12 at the age of 54 after suffering a cardiac arrest at her California home. She was laid to rest in the Meditation Garden in Graceland next to her son, Benjamin Keough, who died in 2020 aged 27, and near her father and grandparents.
