Pattie's revenge on Eric Clapton

[CatWoman]

She has been silent for 40 years. Now tempted by a £1m pay cheque, the world's most famous rock chick is set to reveal every detail of her abusive marriage to Eric Clapton

Holed up in her 17th-century cottage in the West Sussex countryside, Pattie Boyd, Clapton’s ex-wife and the woman he stole from Beatle George Harrison, is working feverishly on her autobiography.

The book, which will see Boyd finally break her 40-year self-imposed silence over her marriages to two of the biggest music stars of the 20th century, was described to the Mail by a publishing source this week as ‘full and frank’.

In other words, in exchange for her rumoured £950,000 advance, ex-model Pattie will be expected to dish the dirt about the sex, drugs and infidelities in her relationships with both the legends.

And to use the vernacular, 62-year-old Boyd certainly knows where the bodies are buried. Worse still for Clapton, her tome will go head-to-head in a sales war with his own forthcoming (and, it is rumoured, highly sanitised) £3.5 million life story. No wonder the guitar king is feeling the heat.

Pattie’s account of her life with Clapton is sure to tarnish his image as one of rock’s gentlemen. Particularly as, the Mail has learnt, she intends to lay bare the bizarre details of how the singer agreed to swop his own girlfriend for Pattie as a trade-off with George Harrison.

1. I'm reading "Behind Sad Eyes" right now, a Harrison bio (not great)

but it says he was an ass to Pattie too, saying she only got some of her modeling gigs because she was with him; he wanted her to give up her career.

Pretty sure he was unfaithful, too.

I'm DEFINITELY getting Pattie's book, thanks for the heads up Cat. :hi:

2. Looking forward to that one

I'm a HUGE Harrison fan but I know he had his moments as a major-league jerk--I'd really like to hear Pattie's side of it all. And good grief--also from that article--I didn't know that Pattie and John had had a fling. I knew about George and Maureen and all the other roundelays, but that one escaped me. What a soap opera! Tough to keep all the players straight--I think I need a chart or something.

of the four of them, I never thought of George as being a jerk.

who woulda thunk? :hi:
