Fans of Elvis Presley are to get a once in a lifetime opportunity to own his fingerprints at auction in London this week. The unusual piece of rock'n'roll memorabilia will go under the hammer at the Idea Generation Gallery. The prints are the only surviving set from The King in existence, according to reports, although it is unclear how much money they will fetch. Appearing on Presley's application for a concealed gun permit, the prints are thought to be the only set from the icon in existence. The memorabilia auction, entitled 'It's More Than Rock and Roll', will take place September 4 at the Idea Generation Gallery, London. Pieces from John Lennon, Ronnie Wood and Marilyn Monroe are among the other lots entered into the "It's More Than Rock And Roll" auction on September 4.
Other items up for grabs include a hand-carved 1968 artwork version of John Lennon's lyrics for 'Sexy Sadie', named 'The Private Mind Of John Lennon', Marilyn Monroe's bustier from the movie 'Some Like It Hot' and a painting of legend Jimi Hendrix by The Rolling Stones' guitarist Ronnie Wood.
