Lisa Marie Presley's posthumous memoir details how she suffered from "big league" withdrawals from painkillers.
The late star detailed her slide into addiction in a memoir that was left unfinished when she died in 2023.
The book, titled From Here to the Great Unknown, was taken up by Lisa Marie's daughter Riley Keough, 35 and completed for publication this year.
In an extract of the book obtained by People magazine, Lisa detailed her spiral into a full-blown addiction to prescription painkillers that began after she gave birth to twins Finley and Harper in 2008.
"For a couple of years it was recreational and then it wasn't," Lisa Marie wrote. "It was an absolute matter of addiction, withdrawal in the big leagues."
Before Lisa Marie's untimely passing, Riley, 35, has promised to help her write her memoir. After Lisa Marie died, Riley listened to memories and recollections her mother had recorded on tape.
In the book's introduction, Riley said at times, Lisa Marie "sounds like she wants to burn the world to the ground; other times, she displays compassion and empathy - all facets of the woman who was my mother, each of those strands, beautiful and broken, forged together in early trauma, crashing together at the end of her life."
Lisa Marie was the daughter of rock and roll legend Elvis Presley, who died in 1977 from complications related to prescription drug use.
