More than 25 years after his death, Elvis Presley is still the King - at least when it comes to earning power.
For the third year in a row the rock 'n' roll legend has topped the Forbes.com income list for deceased celebrities.

Also making the top five are former Beatles John Lennon and George Harrison.

Elvis made £25 million in the year ending September 2003. His 30 No 1 Hits album, released in 2002, sold nine million copies. The record was followed up by the chart success Elvis: 2nd To None.

Visits to Graceland were up 4% in the past year, to 600,000. And a version of the forgotten song Rubberneckin' was used in a Toyota commercial.

Second on the list was Peanuts cartoon creator Charles Schulz, with £20 million, then Lord of the Rings author JRR Tolkien, with nearly £14 million.

In fourth place was Lennon with nearly £12 million. His solo record sales came in at 219,000 last year.

A new DVD of the album Lennon Legend comes out next month. Earlier this week, plans were announced for a musical based on the Liverpudlian's life and times.

Featuring 30 Lennon tracks, the musical which is yet to be named, will open on Broadway next year.

Harrison, who died of cancer, aged 58, in December 2001, made £10 million.
