It's a tour even the most ardent Elvis fan might find themselves all shook up by.

A dental crown worn by Elvis Presley is going on display around the UK for a good cause - helping to raise awareness of mouth cancer.

Named The King's Crown, the tooth will be touring along with Elvis lookalikes at 11 various locations over the next two months.

Good cause: The false tooth will be on display at 11 locations around the UK

The famous molar, made by the star's former dentist Henry J Weiss, was bought for £6,500 by self-confessed obsessive dental collector Canadian dentist Michael Zukmade at an auction in 2012.

Now Dr Zuk, who also owns one of John Lennon's teeth - from which he says he hopes to 'clone a Beatle' - hopes the tooth will help to raise awareness of mouth cancer during its tour.

Dr Zuk said 'If you're going to buy teeth, you're going to buy the most famous teeth in the world, yeah?

'I think I've captured the two biggest celebrities' teeth possible and I'm hoping it will make other dentists jealous so they will buy them off me later.'

Malvern dentist Karen Sutton, who is hosting the first stop of the tour, said 'We doing this as a way of raising awareness of mouth cancer which currently kills five people a day in the UK.'

She urged people to visit her surgery to see Elvis' crown.

'It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,' she added.

Elvis Presley visited the dentist the day before he died on 16 August 1977.

The fake tooth will travel with five letters of authenticity, from the wife and sons of the dentist, and Joe Esposito, Presley's road manager.

The first stop on the tour is Malvern on Wednesday, from where it will travel to a further 10 venues across England, Scotland and Wales.
