Riley Keough speaks to VF about growing up in the public eye, Fleetwood Mac's ‘Silver Springs,’ and working through tragedy to make DaisyJonesAndTheSix.
at the red-carpet premiere. “There were some really challenging songs, and she helped me focus and believe in myself.”Keough’s grandmother, has filed documents challenging the “authenticity and validity” of her daughter’s 2016 trust amendment naming Keough and her younger brother, Benjamin, who has since died, as cotrustees, as reported byKeough’sexperience also began with a major loss. Benjamin died by suicide at age 27 in July 2020, just as she began musical training.
Keough credits the support of her cast and the escape of playing music with keeping her upright. “[The show] came to me for a reason in that moment. The joy of our friendships and of getting to go to work every day and play songs was super necessary for me in my life at that time,” she says. “I was struggling a bit, but it was ultimately a very special moment in my life. And I think that it will definitely be a highlight of my life, for sure.
Now, a somehow visibly calm Keough is trying to soak in the success while preserving her own peace. She’s seen all of the show, but doesn’t dwell on her own performance. “I don’t go back in and analyze because it’s just too much. I’m very neurotic and I have to just let it go,” she says. As for bidding farewell to her castmates, Keough hints there may be moreto come in some capacity. “I don’t think it’s going to be a goodbye,” she says.
At the end of the series, Daisy Jones walks away from the band that built her career in pursuit of a peaceful existence—and one in which she can still make music. Given that Keough has had to play the character during a particularly consequential period in her life, I ask if she thinks art thrives better in turmoil or tranquility. “I think that both are true. You can make art when you’re tormented, and you can make art when you’re peaceful.
“I’ve made art when I’m upset, and I’ve made art when I’m really happy. And I don’t personally see the difference in quality. There’s definitely a long period of time where poets and songwriters were just heartbroken.” Then Keough says something that sounds straight from a Daisy Jones confessional: “There’s no one truth in anything in life, and particularly not in art.”
