Elvis Presley's tooth to tour United Kingdom

London - Elvis Presley's tooth is going on tour.

A dental crown which belonged to the King of Rock 'n' Roll, nicknamed "the King's crown", will travel around the United Kingdom with a group of Elvis impersonators in order to raise awareness of mouth cancer.

The false tooth was originally made by the rock star's dentist Henry J Weiss but was donated to the charity campaign by Canadian dentist Michael Zuk, who purchased it at an auction in 2012.

Dr. Zuk is "obsessed" with collecting teeth and also owns John Lennon's molar, which he hopes to use to clone the deceased Beatles star.
