The genre-bending cult singer is the subject of an offbeat new documentary where he invites people into a long life filled with ups, downs and LSDSwamp Dogg has only just stopped seeing monsters. Since being spiked with LSD back in the 1960s, which also influenced his distinct take on left-field soul music, the 82-year-old says he could still feel the impacts of it up until just a few years ago. “I was paranoid of crowds and paranoid of being alone,” he says. “I had high anxiety and could be sitting in a room with you and if I looked at you long enough, you’d start looking like some kind of monster.”For a long period of time it was only through the help and support of his late wife that he was able to hold it together. “I didn’t trust but one person in life, and that was Yvonne,” he says. “I wouldn’t do anything without her.

Stylists, dermatologists, aestheticians and nutritionists share the products they return to, time and again• Sunscreen and snail slime: what skincare experts do – and don’t do – to their skinHow often do you come across a beauty product that genuinely changes the game? Not just a nice-to-have, but something that actually works, solving a problem you’d given up on. The shampoo that really defrizzes. The foundation that lasts all day without creasing. The serum that calms, rather than irritates, sensitive skin.Most of us have drawers full of abandoned products: lipsticks that smudge, sunscreens that pill, serums that sting too much.
