70's funk legend Sly Stone is living out of his van in the Crenshaw area of Los Angeles.
Sly Stone -- once one of the biggest names in soul music -- now lives in a white van he routinely parks in the rough Crenshaw neighborhood of Los Angeles.Jacked from TMZ
Stone, according to the NY Post, befriended a local family and showers at their house. Their son serves as his assistant and driver.
Stone, whose mega-hits include "Everyday People," says, "I like my small camper. I just do not want to return to a fixed home. I cannot stand being in one place. I must keep moving."
He says his money troubles started in 2009 when he stopped receiving royalty checks from his manager, whom he had accused of fraud. He sued the manager for $50 million.
Stone also foolishly sold his music publishing rights to Michael Jackson for just $1 million in 1984.
He says the FBI is after him and his enemies have hired hit men.
Stone says he's still recording music ... on a laptop computer.

Turrible. I'm only 22 n I like some of this cat's music (my parents are old).It's a damn shame to see someone you used to look up to as a youngin out on they ass when you get growed up (yeah i said it.). Damn, homie when moms was in hi- skool you was the man, homie.
Made lots of money, married a white or asian woman, now his ass is broke and by himself.
@6:57 take your 22 year old dumb no spelling, messed up english language using ass back to school.
@ 7:50 PM : Chill the fuck out. Hardly anyone on the internet uses correct English. I was joking around, you lame duck. By the way, I graduated from Georgia Tech with a degree in engineering, so get off my dick.
He is not homeless. His lawyers bought him a 3 bedroom home he prefers his van but the home is available when he is ready.
the rest of the family stone is back touring the world. He could get MILLIIONS for a reunion tour wit the original members.
So, its HIS fault if he's broke. Sly, hook yo crazy ass back up wit yo family and get off crack. The moneys there if you want it.
