Sly Stone now living in van & homeless

The former funk singer, who fronted the group Sly & the Family Stone, opened up to The New York Post over the weekend about how his use of drugs and money mismanagement have led him to a homeless life on the road.Stone had this to say about the van, according to the paper:

"I like my small camper," he says, his voice raspy with age and years of hard living. "I just do not want to return to a fixed home. I cannot stand being in one place. I must keep moving."

Stone records music on a laptop computer inside the van. The Post reports Stone is paranoid and thinks the FBI is after him.

Stone tells the Post he started having serious money problems in 2009, stemming from a bad management contract he signed in 1989. He has sued the manager with whom he made that deal.

The 68 year old parks the vehicle in a residential street in the notoriously rough Los Angeles neighborhood of Crenshaw, where a retired couple provides him with a warm meal each day and use of a shower.
