McCartney Times

Our regular column covering the deaths of significant – but lesser reported – people of the past month.Kenneth Partridge found fame as a designer of homes for pop stars and other beautiful people during the 1960s. Among his commissions was a flat for Ringo Starr which Partridge decorated with purple silk wallpaper and lead-streaked mirrors. Unfortunately much of this was ruined by Jimi Hendrix, to whom Starr subsequently leased the flat, who threw paint all over the decor while on an acid trip. Partridge also designed the interior of John Lennon’s mock-Tudor house in Weybridge although neither Lennon, nor his wife, Cynthia, were impressed by some of his more lavish ideas.
