Speaking to Architectural Digest earlier this year, he revealed that he felt a “pull” to come home since reaching his 50s.

He said: “I never saw it coming, it’s weird.

“I spoke to (comedian and TV personality) Craig Ferguson about it, he’s moved back to Scotland, and when I called him up he told me: ‘Oh yeah, you’re just at that age.

“You just reach an age when it’s time to go home’.”
