A selection of Michael Jackson's suits, Whitney Houston's dresses and Elvis Presley's hair are all up for auction.

The Music Icons and Sports Legends Auction will take place on June 23 and 24 in Beverly Hills.

One of the organisers, Martin Nolan, thinks there will be a lot of interest.

"Yes, there's a huge interest already in the Whitney Houston items and we sold some of her dresses in auction back in March, [at] our Hollywood Legends auction and they were upwards in the region of 20,000 dollars."

There is also a chance to own a lock of Elvis Presley's hair.

"It seems like an unusual item but we've sold vials of hair from Elvis in the past for, in the region of, 14, 15 thousand dollars," said Nolan.

Other celebrity memorabilia up for grabs includes a robe worn by Amy Winehouse in the Rehab video, a negligee owned by Madonna and an Olympic torch signed by boxing legend Mohammed Ali.
