"I don't find it difficult emotionally to wear her clothes. In fact it's quite nice for me," he told the Mirror. "I've got a big selection of her stuff and the wardrobe mistress goes nuts because I always want to bring them all on tour. "At the end of the day I just pick them up and go: 'Ah that's one of L'Wren's....I like this one'."Asked if it got any easier for him to do so, he simply said: "As time go by, you obviously have a different take on it. It's not something I want to talk about but, I mean... the thing is – I am still wearing her clothes."
