The War Malcolm McLaren Left Behind

Malcolm McLaren, manager of the Sex Pistols, recording artist, filmmaker, cultural gadfly and class system shit disturber, has been dead for two years now.  But ever since he shuffled off this mortal coil, his family has been at war.

As a businessman, you’d think that Malcolm would have been wise enough to leave a will.  He didn’t. Instead he scrawled something on a sheet of paper four days before he died.  

The only explicit order he left was to cut out his son, Joe, from everything.  His estate–and it wasn’t worth all that much–was left to his girlfriend of ten years.

You can see why this would cause issues.  The Daily Mail has the whole story.
