LONDON, Oct 9: Rocker Rod Stewart says he tried yoga after sinking into a deep depression when ex-wife Rachel Hunter walked out on him.
Stewart, 67, said he was left heartbroken in 1998 when the supermodel confessed she was unhappy and wanted to end their eight-year marriage, reported Contactmusic.
In his autobiography, Stewart wrote, “For four months, it was like some kind of 19th Century romantic fever. I lost 12 pounds in weight. I felt cold all the time. I took to lying on the sofa in the day, with a blanket over me and holding a hot-water bottle against my chest.
“I knew then why they call it heartbroken: you can feel it in your heart. I was distracted, almost to the point of madness.”
The ‘Maggie May’ hitmaker was desperate to move on and even sought therapy but quit after one session ended badly.
“I went to a bookstore and left with a bag full of books off the self-help shelves. Other methods of pulling myself out of the depths descended into farce. I’d decided to take up yoga, so a man came to the house to teach me the fundamentals (but) I fell over into the fireplace.” (PTI)
