Peter’s other worry

Peter was concerned more about his other health problem. He was growing deaf slowly and he had penned an article on it lately in 2016. Peter felt that standing next to the amplifier of the lead guitarist of The Pretty Young Things for more than an hour might have been the reason for the damage to his ears. He said:

“First I got tinnitus, a persistent buzzing in the ears which can be really painful condition, then I went deaf.
“But in our day we weren’t educated on the matter so we just made everything as loud as possible. Today kids are smart and wear earplugs to protect themselves.”

He had also written:

“I’m deaf in my left ear and slowly but surely the other one is going as well.
“The only thing you can do about it is laugh – when I mishear people, it can be quite funny.”

He added:

“It does make me sad that I can no longer hold court around the tables at – Stringfellows like I used to be able to.”
“I’ve made it to 75 so if I can hang on to the remained of my hearing for another 10 years, I’ll be happy.
“I’d like to think there’ll be a cure but I very much doubt it. Incredibly, it’s the thing they know least about in the body.”

Peter and his hard-partying lifestyle

Peter had opened a string of nightclubs across the world and these were famous as venues featuring topless girls and for late-night parties and lots of loud music and smoking

. He had been in the business for many years and this had led to the effect of the partying on his ears and lungs. These were the downsides of such a life that he led.

Peter had married his wife Bella in 2009 when she was just 27 years old. In 2016 he told Mirror that he wanted her to remarry once he was gone. He said:

“I’d really want her to get married again,”

He continued:

“She’s still going to be a beautiful young woman when I’ve gone and she is smart enough to make sure whoever she chooses will fit in with her and the children,”
