Elvis's dental crown to tour

A dental crown worn by Elvis Presley is to do one thing the King of Rock 'n' Roll never managed - by touring the UK.

It will go on tour with a group of Elvis impersonators, starting with Malvern and going on to a further 10 venues.
 
The false tooth, nicknamed the King's Crown, is being used to raise awareness of mouth cancer.
 
It was originally made by the rock star's dentist Henry J Weiss and was bought at auction by Canadian dentist Michael Zuk in February 2012 for £6,500.
 
Dr Zuk's collection also includes a tooth belonging to John Lennon. The collector says he hopes one day to clone the former Beatle.
 
"I think I've captured the two biggest celebrities' teeth possible," he said.
 
Five letters of authenticity will accompany Elvis' false tooth on the tour.
