Scottish singer Lulu has revealed that she ended her marriage to Bee Gee Maurice Gibb due to his heavy drinking, admitting the couple should never have wed. The pair married in 1969 after a whirlwind romance but split just four years later.
In an interview for Piers Morgan's Life Stories, the 63-year-old said: 'We thought we were king and queen of the world and were fabulous. The drinking was a part of it but we shouldn't have got married in the first place. We should have just had a romance.'
Lulu, who was 20 when she met Maurice backstage at Top of the Pops, said she made the decision to end the marriage. 'He didn't want it to end and it hurt him. I totally loved and adored him but…in love with him? I was probably in love with love.'
The singer also spoke about a previous heartbreak involving Monkees singer Davy Jones, whom she met in Los Angeles when she was 19. She fell for him but was devastated when he married Linda Haines. 'I fell for him and thought he fell for me. I was heartbroken,' she said.
Lulu later married and divorced hairdresser John Frieda. She has been linked to Take That's Jason Orange and actor Angus Macfadyen, confirming a fling with the latter but denying any romance with Orange.
Piers Morgan's Life Stories: Lulu airs on ITV1 at 9pm on Friday.
