TV Guide Network says it plans to air a U.S. TV special on what it calls eerie similarities in the lives and deaths of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley.


The one-hour program Michael and Elvis: A Tale of Two Kings is slated to premiere Sunday.


TV Guide Network examines the eerie similarities surrounding the lives and untimely deaths of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. From the mega-stars’ pop culture monikers — ‘The King of Pop’ and ‘The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’ — to their fabled homesteads — Neverland and Graceland — and the unusual circumstances surrounding their deaths … , the network said in a news release.


Jackson, who died of cardiac arrest after a suspected prescription drug overdose at the age of 50, was briefly married to Presley’s only daughter, Lisa Marie. The marriage ended in divorce.


Elvis Presley died in 1977 of a heart attack at the age of 42 after years of abusing prescription drugs.
