>>have a real wobbly and feel lonely and upset

Вот пусть с Павликом они и поженятся. Тому тоже наверно грустно и одиноко.

Есть вопрос: Патти Бойд и Эрик Клаптон развелись в 1988.
В 1991 погиб Коннор (сын Эрика) которому тогда было лет 10.
Его мать не Патти Бойд ли???

Коннор был сыном итальянки Лори Дель Санто, родился в августе 1986, а погиб 20 марта 1991 (выпал с 53-го этажа). Ему не было пяти.((((((((((

BOYD NERVOUS ABOUT LOVE WITH 'GROWN-UP MAN'

PATTI BOYD is terrified she will have to find love with a 'grown-up man' after splitting up with her partner of 14 years, because she was previously married to rock gods GEORGE HARRISON and ERIC CLAPTON. Boyd is struggling to come to terms with her newfound singleton status because she has always had a man in her life to turn to. She was married to former BEATLE Harrison from 1966 to 1977 before marrying Clapton in 1980. They split nine years later (89) and she soon found love with ROD WESTON. But the 62-year-old fears she will only be able to have a relationship with a mature man due to her advancing years. She says, "I'm not familiar with older men - grown-up serious men. They make me nervous. "They're not relaxed. I don't know what to say to them."

Pattie's revenge on Eric Clapton

She has been silent for 40 years. Now tempted by a £1million ($1.8 million) pay cheque, the world's most famous rock chick is set to reveal every detail of her abusive marriage to Eric Clapton

Amid the amphitheatrical splendour of Verona's Roman arena, Eric Clapton was not a happy man. On stage in front of 15,000 adoring fans at the lavish open-air venue this week, he was plagued by the draining summer heat and a particularly persistent mosquito.

"As he's become older he gets miserable when it's too hot," says a member of the 61-year-old rock star's entourage. "He was bothered by the flies and his glasses kept steaming up." Clapton's misery as he performed his classics Layla and Wonderful Tonight might also have been due, in part at least, to the woman about whom he wrote his two most famous love songs.

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 ($1.7 million) 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 ($6.4 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.

She is also said to be planning to tell the full story about dark rumours that during their nine-year marriage, Clapton, battling an addiction to drink and drugs, was an abusive and violent husband who cheated on her with a string of women because she couldn't bear him children.

None of which is likely to make comfortable reading for the star - nicknamed Slowhand because of the speed of his hands on the guitar - who has become a father to three young daughters late in life thanks to his happy, five-year marriage to American-born former waitress Melia McEnery, 32 years his junior.

To compound his problems, Pattie's memoirs come at the same time that another lover, Italian Lori Del Santo, whose four-year-old son with Clapton, Conor, died when he fell from a New York skyscraper, is penning her own version of events, which will allege that Clapton dispatched an aide to persuade her to have an abortion when he discovered she was pregnant.

Hardly surprising, then, that the veteran rocker, who is already worth £130 million ($239 million), is said by associates to be rueing his decision to accept the payday offered by publishers Random House for his musings on his life and hugely successful career.

"He realises he has opened a can of worms with Pattie and Lori," a source close to him told the Mail this week. "He is not too concerned about Lori, but he never thought Pattie would reveal the secrets of their marriage.

"He comes out of it pretty badly, but the truth is he should have let sleeping dogs lie and never agreed to do this book. He knows he's only got himself to blame." Indeed, friends of Pattie reveal she decided to sign her own publishing deal with Headline Books only because she was angry that Clapton had broken his vow not to speak about their marriage. Already, she has employed Prince Charles's biographer Penny Junor to help her write it.

Meanwhile Clapton's publishers are said to be furious over the news that Pattie's book will go directly up against his own when they both hit the shelves in the autumn of next year. As one who has been researching their lives for several years for my own book on Clapton, I can say without hesitation that Pattie's is one of rock's great untold stories. Not only was she the muse for Clapton's finest work, she inspired first husband George Harrison to pen the beautiful Something for her.

The public school-educated daughter of an RAF pilot, Pattie was a 20-year-old model when she was chosen to make a fleeting appearance in the 1964 Beatles film A Hard Day's Night. The well-bred trophy girl caught the eye of bus driver's son Harrison and the couple married in 1966. It was the blonde and toothy Pattie who spawned Harrison's interest in eastern culture and introduced The Beatles to the Indian mystic the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1968.

But it is her description of her relationship with another Beatle, John Lennon, that will be most fascinating. Rumours abound among those who surrounded the group that Lennon and Pattie enjoyed a brief fling during her marriage to George.

What is certainly true is that Lennon shared with his friend Mick Jagger a sexual obsession with Pattie, which he documented in a series of graphic diary entries.

Indeed, the blatant flirting between John and Pattie at a party at London's Royal Lancaster Hotel in December 1968 led to singer Lulu stepping in to remonstrate on behalf of Lennon's long-suffering wife Cynthia. Not that Harrison, despite his conversion to mysticism, was above the more earthly pleasures himself.

He enjoyed an affair with Ringo Starr's wife Maureen Starkey during their marriage and his bed became familiar to a rotating band of groupies known as the 'Apple Scruffs' because they would hang around outside the group's Apple Corps headquarters on London's Savile Row.

But it was Pattie's relationship with Clapton that was to wreck her marriage to George. She and Harrison met the guitarist, then with Sixties supergroup Cream, at a party in Chelsea in November 1968.

The two men became immediate best friends, but Clapton, who was living with his teenage girlfriend Alice Ormsby-Gore, the daughter of Lord Harlech, fell passionately for the lovely Pattie.

When she rejected his entreaties for her to leave Harrison for him, he wrote the tortured love song Layla for her. Eventually, as George became more and more obsessed with the teachings of his new spiritual guru, Pattie fell into Eric's arms. They continued their affair behind George's back, even disappearing for trysts in an upstairs cupboard during candlelit games of hide and seek with an unsuspecting George at his huge Gothic mansion, Friar Park in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.

It was not Pattie's first affair either. In the early Seventies, Harrison and guitarist Ronnie Wood, who would go on to join the Rolling Stones, negotiated a wife swop, with Pattie escorting Wood on holiday to the Bahamas while George took Ronnie's then wife Krissy to his rented villa in Portugal.

Harrison finally twigged that Clapton had 'done it' with his wife when he arrived at a party at the home of his then manager Robert Stigwood in Stanmore, Middlesex, to see his best friend and Pattie acting like husband and wife. Clapton, who by then was living with model Cathy James, confessed his affair with Pattie to George and told him bluntly that he wanted her for himself. Harrison's reaction was unexpected. He told Clapton: "Whatever you like, man." Then added: "You can have her and I'll have your girlfriend."

Pattie fled in tears, but finally in 1974 she left George and moved into Clapton's Italian-style villa Hurtwood Edge in the Surrey stockbroker belt. Astonishingly, the two men remained great friends.

But Clapton's drinking and drug taking - not to mention his constant philandering - was soon taking its toll on his relationship with Pattie. By the time of their 1979 wedding in Tucson, Arizona, the guitarist was in the midst of a monumental addiction to cocaine. Just days before he asked her to marry him, he had begun a fling under Pattie's nose with one of her best friends. She constantly forgave his affairs and his drinking sessions, which would start at 8am and last all day. But in 1982 she persuaded the star to check into the Hazelden Foundation drying-out clinic in Minnesota.

Part of his therapy was to read out a questionnaire filled out by Pattie which chronicled the abuse she suffered at his hands while he was in the grip of his addictions. Clapton was forced to admit to his fellow patients that he had beaten her up and forced her to have sex with him.

His behaviour led Pattie into her own battle with the bottle. Hardly surprising, then, that to this day she prefers to forget another song he wrote about her called The Shape You're In, which chronicles her own alcoholism.

But it was Pattie's inability to have children that proved the death knell for their marriage. Like Harrison before him, Clapton was keen to start a family, but despite fertility treatment she suffered a series of miscarriages. Meanwhile, Clapton began an affair with studio sound assistant Yvonne Kelly while recording in Montserrat in 1985, and she gave birth to his daughter Ruth.

Pattie was kept in the dark about the baby. But when beautiful television presenter Lori Del Santo, with whom he had begun a tempestuous affair, presented Clapton with a son, Conor, a year later, Pattie moved out. Clapton gave up drink for good, but the couple eventually divorced in 1988.

Pattie has consistently refused big money offers to tell her story about her relationships with the two rock stars, and remained on good terms with George until his death from cancer in 2001. Likewise, she stayed in touch with Clapton after their divorce and even attended the funeral of Conor in 1991.

But friends say she has never fully recovered from his treachery and went into psychotherapy in a bid to come to terms with the collapse of their marriage.

Nor, they say, was she 'made for life' by their divorce settlement and is wont to tell friends, who ask her how it feels to have been the inspiration for some of the most touching love songs of all time, that she would have preferred the royalties.

It is said only partly in jest and she maintains that she had to find a job after her split from Clapton.

Today, she makes a living from photography and currently has an exhibition in London of her shots of her showbusiness friends. She has never remarried and lives alone with her cat following her split last year from long-term lover Rod Weston, a property developer.

A friend explains: "Pattie always said that she would never write her book despite hundreds of offers and she always said she was very keen to protect George's memory.

"But quite honestly she was very annoyed when she heard that Eric had decided to write his own book. Her publishers will, of course, love the fact that both their books, with their different recollections of the same events, will be coming out at the same time."

Christopher Simon Sykes, who is ghost-writing Clapton's book, told the Mail: "It is always difficult when you get two people's version of the same story. He is telling his story, Pattie is telling hers.

"I spoke to Pattie last month and she told me she is saving her own memories for her own book, but she didn't tell me when it would be coming out. I suppose it will concentrate Eric's mind."

He also admitted that Clapton has insisted on censoring his version of rock history. "Eric is not going to lay open his whole life," Sykes said. "There will be things he will keep private, because he says he doesn't want his entire life laid bare to the public. He will choose what he doesn't say himself.

"Eric and I are about half way through the book and haven't really got to Pattie yet, but he is incredibly generous about her." Time will tell if Clapton feels so well disposed to his ex once he reads the no-holds-barred revelations of the woman he immortalised in song. In the meantime, just like during this week's performance, he'll have to keep sweating.

Wonderful Today: The Autobiography of Pattie Boyd (Hardcover)
by Pattie Boyd (Author), Penny Junor (Author)

Hardcover: 352 pages
Publisher: Headline Review (23 Aug 2007)

Pattie Boyd was the Queen of the Sixties and beyond - a drop-dead gorgeous model, photographer, and the inspiration for the timeless songs "Something", "Layla" and "Wonderful Tonight". Her story is one of drama, struggle and, ultimately, affirmation, but her struggles (against addiction, tragedy, infertility) were lived with two of the twentieth century's greatest musical icons: her husbands George Harrison and Eric Clapton. Now, after 40 years, she tells her extraordinary story. From growing up in Kenya in a privileged but broken home, becoming a sixties supermodel, working with David Bailey and Ozzie Clarke, and meeting the Beatles, to marriage to George and then Eric, to the accidents and brushes with tragedy - her own and Eric's - this is a mesmerising human story. Written with the acclaimed biographer and journalist Penny Junor, "Wonderful Today" is rich and raw, it is funny, heartbreaking and heartwarming.

Pattie Boyd publishing Eric Clapton and George Harrison marriage memoir
Pattie Boyd, the ex-wife of both Eric Clapton and the late George Harrison, is set to release a memoir of her marriages, titled Wonderful Tonight: An Autobiography, in August. In one of rock's most famous romances, Boyd was still married to Harrison when she began her affair with Clapton, who went on to write his classic songs "Layla," "Wonderful Tonight," and others about her.

The New York Post's Page Six previewed an excerpt from the book, in which Boyd first realizes the extent of Clapton's affections, writing that, "One day, I got a letter in the mail. It was written on a piece of paper torn out of a copy of the (John Steinbeck) novel Of Mice And Men. In tiny, scrawly, little handwriting it said, 'Dear Pattie, I have always loved you and this is breaking my heart. All I want is to be with you.' So I showed it to George, who just dismissed it. Early that evening, the phone rang and it was Eric. He said, 'Did you get my letter?'"

Pattie Boyd says that it was ingrained in her since her early days with George Harrison to never speak out publicly to the press: "I think it was (Beatles' manager) Brian Epstein who really didn't want us, the wives, to talk to the press, at all. And that was so instilled in my from such a young age. But you know, I'm much older now and I think, 'It's fine,' enough time's gone by and now I see it for what it is. You know, I lived in a particular part of rock and roll history and I have very enjoyable memories and wonderful of that period."

Although Boyd was officially married to Harrison from 1966 to 1977, she began living with Clapton in 1974, and they eventually married in 1979. She divorced Clapton partly because of his alcoholism and prolonged infidelities, which resulted in Clapton fathering two illegitimate children while still married to Boyd.

Pattie Boyd's Wonderful Tonight: An Autobiography will be published on August 7th.

Beatle's muse comes clean

Steve Meacham
July 4, 2007

The inspiration behind two of music's greatest songwriters tells her story, writes Steve Meacham.

SHE wasn't the most successful model, nor was she the most beautiful Englishwoman of her generation.

So what made Pattie Boyd the lover and wife of two of the greatest musicians of rock history? And the inspiration for three of the greatest love songs to a single woman man has ever recorded?

If you're too young to remember the name Pattie Boyd, perhaps the names George Harrison and Eric Clapton might resonate. One a Beatle. The other la creme de la Cream. Both gods of the guitar.

And the songs they wrote about their muse? Something. As in "Something in the way she moves, attracts me like no other lover". Then Layla, written by Clapton when he was Derek of the Dominos and passionately in love with, as Elvis might have sung, "the girl of my best friend". And finally, Wonderful Tonight - the anthem of the errant husband, intoxicated by drugs, alcohol or a mistress, who suddenly remembers where his real affections lie.

For the best part of four decades people have tried coaxing Boyd into "dishing the dirt". Now, apparently, she has. Next month "the iconic muse to musical icons George Harrison and Eric Clapton speaks out in a compelling and moving autobiography illustrated with her own breathtaking and intimate photographs", to quote the publicity from the publisher, Headline Review.

According to London's Daily Mail, which has obviously seen a sneak preview of the book she's written with the journalist Penny Junor, there's quite a lot of salacious tittle-tattle - as one might expect for a reputed £950,000 ($2.2 million) advance.

The 63-year-old Boyd lives in a 17th-century cottage in West Sussex and is said to be enjoying the prospect of her account going head-to-head with Clapton's autobiography, for which he has apparently been paid £3.5 million.

According to the Mail, "she intends to lay bare the bizarre details of how the singer agreed to swap his own girlfriend for Pattie as a trade-off with Harrison".

"She is also said to be planning to tell the full story about dark rumours that during their nine-year marriage, Clapton, battling an addiction to drink and drugs, was an abusive and violent husband who cheated on her with a string of women because she couldn't bear him children."

Boyd was a 20-year-old model in 1964 when she met the youngest Beatle during filming for A Hard Day's Night. She married Harrison in 1966 and is said to have introduced the Beatles to the Indian mystic the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi four years later.
