I saw a pic of Steve Winwood recently. Looks like he's sitting in some old freezing cold dank smelly castle.

Now ....other than a vanity purchase, why would anyone think this is a good idea?

What other rock stars had one?

Blackmore, Dio and Jimmy Page are on the castle HOA board. Ace should build his next studio in a castle

What? Blackmore has lived in the US since 1974 and Dio lived there his entire life.

The American equivalence is buying a "ranch".

But at least you're not sitting in a 800 year old run down stone behemoth.

The idea would be to live near a ski resort.

Sting's castle is in Italy, I think.

Not exactly a castle but George Harrison’s mansion Friar Park is fascinating.

Wow, Mick Jagger's French château looks like crap compared to George Harrisson's. But at least he can still bang bitches in it today.

Coverversion had it figured out... when he got his WS '87 money, he bought a place in Tahoe.

As Sting smugly corrected his band mates during a Police interview, it's called a Palazzo....

Should we explain them? 'Cause I don't think they'll figure this out on their own.

He's such a fucking dick. Great songwriter, great singer, great bass player, and great performer, but he's perhaps the most egomaniacal rocker I can think of. And, it isn't like those are in short supply.

Dio was a notorious tightwad and him and his wife supposedly made some good investments in property in the 80s so why not.

Jimmy Page's residence Tower House is sometimes called a castle but it really isn't. It's a big 150 year old private home on a street with other private homes next to Hyde Park right in central London, Robbie Williams is his neighbour for example.
