Elvis Presley's Crypt Goes Up For Auction
Elvis Presley's original tomb is going up for auction next month and looks set to sell for thousands.
After Elvis' death in 1977, following his funeral at Graceland, his body was temporarily entombed in the crypt of a private mausoleum at Forest Hill Cemetery in Memphis, Tennessee.
Two months later, both his body and that of his mother were moved to a permanent site in the meditation garden on the grounds of Graceland.
Beverly Hills-based Julien's said the lot for sale includes the crypt, opening and closing of the vault for burial, memorial inscription and use of a small chapel for a memorial service. Bidding will open at $100,000 (GBP 64,000).
Another auction highlight is the outfit Amy Winehouse wore in her breakout music video "Rehab" is going under the hammer next month.
The late singer's personally owned Princesse Tam & Tim robe is expected to fetch up to $17,000 (GBP 11,000) at Julien's Auctions Music & Sports Icons sale.
The two-day sale, beginning June 23 will also feature Rolling Stone guitarist Keith Richards' ripped 'Hell' t-shirt, items from Lady Gaga's personal wardrobe and Michael Jackson memorabilia.
Sports items include a pair of shoes worn and signed by Michael Jordan, the hood of a race car signed by driving champion Tony Stewart and a Lance Armstrong skin suit worn in the 2003 Tour de France.

Remains of a stylist found on top of the Katskhi Pillar in a crypt under the church
Last of the Stylites Maxime Qavtaradze, who lives on top of the Katskhi Pillar, Georgia - 22 Jun 2013
*Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/mik1
In an isolated region of the Caucasus a Georgian monk is spending his days in prayer and silence atop a 40-metre pillar of limestone. The Katskhi Pillar was used by stylites (Christian ascetics who lived atop pillars and eschewed worldly temptation) until the 15th century when the practice was stopped following the Ottoman invasion of Georgia. For centuries the 40 metres (130ft) high pillar lay abandoned and locals could only look up at the mysterious ruins at its summit. However, after first being ascended in 1944, the pillar has been home to Maxime Qavtaradze, last of the stylites, since 1993. Since then Maxime, who has previously spent time in prison, and the Christian community in the area have constructed a ladder to the top, rebuilt the church, and built a cottage where Maxime spends his days praying, reading, and "preparing to meet god".
