Washington, September 19 : Veteran Welsh singer Tom Jones has revealed that he was once stunned to find Elvis Presley''s gun in his dressing room lavatory.

He says that he found the silver-plated Colt .45 automatic pistol on his toilet cistern, after Presley had used the bathroom.

He has revealed that when he tried to discreetly hand it back, the Jailhouse Rock hitmaker shrug off the incident.

"I wrapped it up in this towel, took it out and said, very quietly, ''Er, Elvis, you left your gun in the toilet.'' And Elvis just goes: ''Aw s**t man, ma .45'', and stuck it in his belt. I was trying to be very discreet about the whole thing, but he couldn''t have cared less," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

Jones was a close friend of The King, and they would often spend time together when they were in the same city on tour. (ANI)
