Washington, October 08 : A clump of Elvis Presley’s hair will soon be auctioned and is expected to fetch up to 12,000 dollars.

Apart from the hair, a collection of Elvis memorabilia that will be put up for sale includes signed records, photos and clothing.

The auction will take place on 18 October in Chicago, Illinois. (ANI)
