00:00 It was actually at Kate Moss' house and she talked about him a lot. Obviously I knew him
00:10 through Legend and I knew a couple of his songs but she talked about him and his wife
00:15 as well actually, Victoria, like they were kind of gurus and they used to tell me how
00:19 much they knew about history and how he was so down to earth and when I met him he just
00:23 charged in, took my crack pipe off me, smashed it up, charged out and then came back and
00:31 helped me put it back together with sellotape. That was the first time I ever met him so
00:36 I thought that was pretty cool but then I saw each other a lot from time to time and
00:41 it wasn't always, you know, narcotic moments. In fact, it wasn't most of the time. We'd
00:45 just be there around their house and he'd say "Oh, okay, get the guitar out, go and
00:52 show us what you've got" and we'd just put up and play guitar and sing songs and
00:59 I just loved the bloke to be honest. I knew he was ill, do you know what I mean? But I
01:07 kind of thought he was bulletproof.
