LONDON (Reuters) - British singer Bryan Ferry (news), smooth frontman of new
wave band Roxy Music, was granted a divorce from his wife of 21 years by a
London court on Friday on the basis of her adultery.

Ferry was granted an uncontested divorce from former model Lucy Helmore after
he filed papers saying she had admitted adultery and he now found it
"intolerable" to continue living with her.


The singer was 36 and at the height of his popularity when he married the
22-year-old model and heiress in 1982. The couple have four sons.


Ferry said in the papers that he had first suspected his wife was cheating on
him in May 2000. "The respondent has admitted adultery," he said, adding that
she was still cheating on him when they parted.


Renowned for his good looks and tailored dress, he became an international
music and style icon with Roxy Music which had a string of hits in the 1970s
and early 1980s including "Avalon," "Love is the Drug" and "Dance Away."


After the band split in the early 1980s, he went on to enjoy a successful solo
career and his latest album, "Frantic" was released in April 2002.


Newspapers have reported the 57-year-old Ferry has started a new relationship
with 21-year-old dancer Katie Ford.

Geez, I hope this isn't true. He's nearly three times as old as her....

That's a new one.. picking a girl as old as his marriage! Actually, since she
was the one who flaked, I rather like that move!

You're right, of course, but I kind of hoped he was a little more mature
than that....

that's just gross. how do these girls go through with this? it is
truly a MAN's WORLD!! i mean, the thought of having sex with a 57 year
old man is just horrifying (at least to any girl under the age of 35).
let's not forget, usually having sex means seeing the person naked!!!
if you'd need a pint of guinness just have sex with a guy, you might
want to reconsider the relationship!!!

dude, even if he wore a spandex bodysuit with the croch cut out in a
pitch black room, I still couldn't justify it.

come on ladies!!!!!!!!!!! get out of the stone age, we can hunt and
gather our own food!! this type of torture should no longer be
permitted in society.

Some girls find money, status, wealth totally hot.
That's what turns them on. Or maybe these girls don't like sex anyway.
And if it's like that, you may as well do it with someone that has money,
wealth, status
than with someone who doesn't. That's the only way I can justify it.

For the most part, some guys aren't interested in a relationship at all.
They just want a good bang with someone fresh, young and hot
and then go on to something else. It's like an appetite.
You pig out on gourmet food, and then roll over and watch TV.
The last thing you want to do is have to entertain the food with
conversation.
