“I like my small camper,” he told The Post. “I just do not want to return to a fixed home. I cannot stand being in one place. I must keep moving.”

Stone had previously lived in mansions in Los Angeles and the Napa Valley. He dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars on cars, and drug use played a well-chronicled role in his downfall.

He is now suing a former business manager and he told The Post the FBI is after him. But he still wants to perform.

"My music is a format that will encourage you to have a song you won’t forget. That’s why I got so much money, that there are so many people around, and that’s why I am in court. Millions of dollars!” Stone said.

“But now please tell everybody, please, to give me a job, play my music. I’m tired of all this s--t, man.”
