PICTURE SHOWS: Music memorabilia expert Claire Howell with Elvis's hair A lock of hair from the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, could sell for thousands of pounds at auction. A few strands of dark hair from the legendary singer, who took the world by storm in the 1950s, are set to go under the hammer in a music memorabilia sale at Hansons Auctioneers in November with a guide price of ?L4,000-?L6,000.
