Sly Stone Living in a Van in Los Angeles

The one and only Sly Stone, the man who wants to take you higher, is living these days in LA. If the story stopped there, you might assume he would have a Beverly Hills address. Unfortunately, the story continues. Two New York Post contributors recently caught up with Sly at his current residence: a van. He parks the vehicle in a South Central neighborhood and that's where he lives. Sly gets one meal per day, and the opportunity to shower, thanks to a retired couple who own a home there. (Their son works as Sly's driver and assistant.)

The story, which provides a summary of the musician's highs and lows, is tough stuff. For fans of Stone's vital, funky music, it's necessary reading.
