A bible used by the iconic singer Elvis Presley who is often referred as “King of Rock and Roll” was sold at an auction for a staggering price of $94,000.

The 1,600 page holy book was given to Presley on his first Christmas by his Uncle Vester and Aunt Clettes in Graceland in 1957. The bible was used by the singer throughout his life until his death on August 16, 1977.
