Lisa Marie Presley's daughter has revealed the chilling final conversation her late mom had with ex-husband Michael Jackson before his death.
The tragic exchange was published in Presley's posthumous autobiography, From Here to the Great Unknown, which released earlier this month.
Riley Keough, the daughter of Presley and musician Danny Keough, helped to complete the book after her mom's death last January.

Presley and the King of Pop married in May 1994, when Presley was 25 and Jackson ten years her senior. She had divorced Keough only 20 days prior.
The ceremony, held in the Dominican Republic, lasted 15 minutes - and the same can be said about their marriage.
Presley filed for divorce in January 1996, but it wasn't finalized until May 2004.
In her book, Presley revealed Jackson was 'very controlling and calculating'.
She theorized: “I figured that Michael would have me have the children and then dump me, get me out of the picture. I could read him like a clock.
"I understood everything about him because all we did was bare our souls to one another. I knew his nature."
The book goes on to detail the exact moment Presley knew she needed to end her relationship with Jackson.
Keough wrote that Presley's private jet almost crashed 'in the middle of nowhere' en route to seeing Jackson on tour in South Africa.
Keough explained: “[It] felt like a bad omen to my mom."
She also discussed the rather haunting final words Presley and Jackson had exchanged. After calling him up one day, Presley recalled that the singer 'didn't sound sober.'
Jackson supposedly responded: “You were right,” before adding: “Everybody around me wants to kill me.”
Jackson died of a heart attack at the age of 50 on June 25, 2009. Coroners concluded his death was caused by acute propofol intoxication - the anaesthetic Jackson had used to help him sleep.
The death was ruled a homicide and in 2011, Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to four years in jail.
Keough wrote about Jackson's death: “My mom was in London, writing a record, when Michael died. My mom later told Oprah that Michael often said he was afraid of ending up like her father.
“He was forever asking my mom about when Elvis died, how it happened, where, why. Michael said: 'I feel like I’m going to end up the same way'.”
