My dad lived till he was 78, my mum was in her 80s, and I've got two uncles who are in their 90s now.

All my family back to the 1700s were water Gypsies. My brothers and me, we were the first ones to be born on dry land. All the rest of them were born on barges in the canals.

I had a fiery affair with George Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd.
