Pattie Boyd on George Harrison and Eric Clapton — 'They were boy-men'

It is the most famous love triangle in music history: George Harrison, Eric Clapton and Pattie Boyd, the quintessential face of the 1960s, who was married to Harrison while being courted by Clapton. Over half a century after Clapton uttered to Harrison the immortal words “I have to tell you, man, I’m in love with your wife” after the Beatle confronted the couple in the garden of the Bee Gees’ manager Robert Stigwood in 1970, the former model is selling their love letters.
