He added: “Whenever I see internet estimates of my wealth I find it hysterically funny. "For all the records we sold, we made very little because of the way our early record deals were structured. “We played nearly 100 gigs in 2019 but had to scrap an entire tour in 2020, so made zero money last year. “My earnings were minus $15,000, so I claimed unemployment benefit in America.” Booth said he lived in a “wood shack” in LA with his wife and son — but sold it last year to Dustin Hoffman’s daughter before returning to the UK.
