It wasn\u2019t like they were like Lady Chatterley\u2019s Lover\u2019s letters. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were just filth. They were about sex. They weren\u2019t romantic, they weren\u2019t loving. It wasn\u2019t anything I\u2019m going to read when I\u2019m 70 and go, \u2018Oh, so sweet.\u2019 &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>But the &#8216;Karma Chameleon&#8217; singer &#8211; who is preparing to release his third autobiography, &#8216;Karma&#8217; &#8211; admitted he also got rid of them to avoid the &#8220;temptation&#8221; of making the contents of the letters public.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe added: &#8220;And I also wanted to get rid of the temptation to print them just to be bitchy. I thought, actually, I don\u2019t want to be b*****. I don\u2019t need to be b*****.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nIn 2018, Jon left the band during a reunion tour following an argument with George and subsequently sued for loss of income, finally settling the dispute for \u00a31.75 million, and the former &#8216;I&#8217;m A Celebrity&#8230; Get Me Out Of Here!&#8217; star believes his ex-lover took action to &#8220;hurt&#8221; him.<\/p>\n<p>\nAsked about reports the case left him facing bankruptcy, George said: \u201cThat\u2019s not true. But I think Jon wanted to bankrupt me. I think he wanted to hurt me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nBut he admitted the financial implications of the settlement are &#8220;bad&#8221; and he has been left with &#8220;absolutely f*** all&#8221; money, leaving him to put his London mansion in Hampstead up for sale for \u00a317 million.<\/p>\n<p>\nGeorge &#8211; who is currently living in a rented property in Hackney, east London, while tenants are in the Hampstead house &#8211; said: \u201cI can get more money renting it than living in it. But it\u2019s been really fun being out of there.
