News about Pattie Boyd

This legendary song-maker has enjoyed a vibrant career than has spanned over six decades as he has nearly 100 singles to his name. He has been linked to some of the world's most beautiful and celebrated women including model Pattie Boyd, singer and actress Cher, and TV star Davina McCall.

A traditional Indian instrument used by George Harrison to record a Beatles song has sold for over £53,000. Harrison bought the 4ft long sitar from a small Oxford Street shop named Indiacraft between August and October 1965. He later used the instrument to record the song, Norwegian Wood, in October 1965, launching 'the Great Sitar Explosion' in rock music. Harrison took the sitar to Barbados on his and Pattie Boyd's January 1966 honeymoon and then gifted it as a thank you to his friend, George de Vere Drummond, after he let them stay at his house on the island.

It's a fascinating piece of pop history, and as such it is expected to sell for a princely sum of up to £60,000. But Eric Clapton's Layla album's original artwork has sold for £1.9 million, much more for something associated with a long player record. Pattie Boyd, who was notably involved in a love triangle with Clapton and her husband, former Beatle George Harrison, was one of a £3 million treasure chest discovered by the artist. Clapton's first letter pursuing her in 1970 was also going under fire. In it he writes: 'What I wish to ask you is if you still love your husband, or if you have another lover?' It insists that she respond by letter rather than on the phone because it is'much safer' and is written: 'All my love, E' The letter was sent by a crazed fan and even showed it to her then-husband. Clapton only learned it was from the guitarist, who wrote the song Layla about her. She divorced Harrison after a decade in 1977 and married Clapton in 1979. The letter fetched more than £107,000.

Pattie Boyd, a model, is planning to sell letters from her turbulent love affair with guitarist Eric Clapton and Beatles legend George Harrison, who says she finds them 'heartbreaking' to read back.

She capturing the soul of two of the leading voices of her day and influenced Harrison's song Something and Clapton's Wonderful Tonight and Layla.

Brown reveals how Eastern mysticism went from being unknown to venerable and back to a topic of suspicion in a lively narrative delivered with humor and compassion.

Twiggy, a Sixties icon who died gracefully, stars in a new film and a musical charting her remarkable life. She has never gone under the knife like many others in the public eye. 'I'm really proud of my wrinkles,' she says. I know when people have little tweaks and maybe I'll even do it, but I'm not sure.' But what I don't think I'd ever do is the stuff they inject when they get those funny cheeks that look like cotton wool balls have been stuffed in them. It would frighten me.'

Dame Mary, the British queen of Swing Sixties fashion who introduced miniskirts and hot pants to the world, changed the face of fashion forever, and was dubbed 'brilliant' and'revolutionary' by the models. The south-east London designer 'didn't have time to wait for women's lib', starting a fashion revolution to free young women of the 1950s and 1960s from being forced to dress like their mothers for another decade. Vidal Sassoon, a hairdresser, has boosted hemlines to new heights, spearheaded sack dresses, and turned women's trousers and tights into wardrobe staples, as well as popularizing the bob haircut pioneered by her friend, the hairdresser.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Arts Council England has been granted an estimated £17,000 to a ludicrous touring exhibition that mocks Diana's death and has the late Queen admitting to plotting her death. Diana: Diana: The Untold And Untrue Tale, a Swedish actor Linus Karp's solo performance, has Diana living and breaking into EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Buckingham Palace has killed the monarch. Charles and Camilla do not escape from a dramatic insult, with Diana naming the new Queen the'slaugh of death'. Camilla (a puppet monster) and Charles (a cardboard pop-up), as well as Charles (a cardboard pop-up), where Charles performs what is described colloquially as a 'yodel in the valley,' on the internet. The execrable parody is subtitled: "A very stupid show." The Arts Council is ditto.

Twiggy, two Swing Sixties icons, were back together this week when she met with her colleague model Pattie Boyd's book My Life In Pictures at the launch party.

Ronnie was joined by his wife Sally, who married in 2012, at the star-studded bash, as well as fellow music legends Jimmy Page and Roger Taylor.

It's something of a scorcher, as diaries go. 'Does your silence mean be gone?' One urgent telegram is embedded within, the sender, one heartbroken Eric Clapton. And there can be few young women who will have excitedly scribbled in their journals: 'George Harrison asked me out!!!!' 1964, date unknown. These messages are just a fraction of the passion and angst contained in Pattie Boyd's latest book, but it is only a small fraction of the sadness and turbulence contained in this book. Although it's mainly an anthology of images from her remarkable career - from portfolio shots to photographs she has taken herself over the years as an influential photographer - that stand out most vividly. And not just because Pattie is chronicling the highs and painful lows of life with legendary rock stars George Harrison and Eric Clapton, but not only because it's reporting the highs - and crashing lows - of life with legendary rock star ex-husbands George Harrison and Eric Clapton. However, it's all too obvious how youthful she was insecure about the marriages she was involved in.

Fans around the world have adored songs by her intimate connection to two of the world's greatest musicians of any generation. However, Pattie Boyd, the sixties muse who inspired some of George Harrison and Eric Clapton's best-known hits, admits she hasn't seen a single penny in royalties despite being responsible for their creation. Harrison, the model, who is now 78, was married softly-spoken Beatles guitarist Harrison in 1966, two years after meeting on the set of the band's first feature length film, A Hard Day's Night.

Now we know the best way to get Taylor Swift to open up — let her ask all the questions! The Shake It Off singer and Pattie Boyd were the subject of a lengthy debate for Harper's Bazaar's August 2018 issue. The model, who was notably a musical muse who influenced Eric Clapton and George Harrison's songs, was a musical muse. Video: Taylor Is The Other Woman In Sugarland’s Babe Music Video!Taylor has obviously had a few muses herself, so their talk about that process led to an interesting admission: TS: I wondered who and what situation "Wonderful Tonight" was about, and now I know it's about you getting ready for a party, changing clothes, and saying, "I don't like this, I don't like it." PB: [Eric] was so embarrassed that it took so long, and instead he said, "I don't like this." TS: This is so amazing to me. PB: But you'll have to do it again. You must be inspired by a few moments, like your boyfriend's or saying something to you, or even a little bit of a smile, or "Is he thinking this or that?" and that may inspire you. Can you write it the moment it’s happening? TS: It's definitely moments like this cloud of an idea appears and just lands in front of your face, and you reach up and grab it. A lot of songwriting involves learning, organization, and honing the talent, as well as knowing how to create a song. But there are those magical, magical times when an idea that has never existed just pops into your head. And here's the worst part of my work. On any other level, it can get complicated, but songwriting is still the same seamless process it was when I was 12 years old writing songs in my room. PB: Right, correct; TS: I don't know what it is that makes some people so enthralling. There have been people I've spent a lot of time with who I couldn't write about.
