Eric Clapton reveals in his autobiography that he was so jealous of
George Harrison's lifestyle that he stole the wife of the
Beatles guitarist. This, of course, makes Clapton sound like a caveman dragging away a rival's woman by the hair, and will no doubt delight feminists everywhere.
Patti Boyd, the woman in question, brought out a book of her own last year and she seemed to mention something about it being her choice, or at least that she had a bit of a say in the decision.
In fact, at no point did she use the phrase "I was stolen" throughout the whole volume. Though she did mention that Eric was a bit violent and she thought he might kill her, something Clapton fails to recall in his book.
Clapton's admission is surprising because he was seen as the man who had it all, including heroin addiction. And a rubbish beard. But it just wasn't enough, so he targeted George Harrison.
This was a cowardly decision as the peace-loving Beatle was unlikely to fight him and at best might go at his knees with a bit of Yogic Flying.
