Sly Stone, former leader of Sly And The Family Stone has revealed he now in lives in a van in Los Angeles.
The funk legend, who once owned a very large mansion in the city, now lives in a camper van which is known as 'Pleasure Way'. The van is parked in Crenshaw, the rough Los Angeles neighborhood where the film Boyz In The Hood was set.
A local family have said that they make sure Stone eats at least one meal a day and allow him to take showers in their home.
Stone himself has said that he has chosen to live in this manner and doesn't see himself as homeless. He told the New York Post: "I like my small camper. I just do not want to return to a fixed home. I cannot stand being in one place. I must keep moving."

Anyone who has read the chapter on Sly in Nick Kent's Dark Stuff will not be surprised at this. The man was, is and forever shall be a fucking mentalist.
