Monty Python member Eric Idle shared an insight into the production of the troupes 1975 film 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail', Rolling Stone reports. According to his tweet, British rock stars were essential in financing it - Led Zeppelin contributed £31,500, Pink Floyd Music ponied up £21,000, and Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson put in £6,300 of his own money. Monty Python's other movie 'Life of Brian' came out thanks to a musician as well - The Beatles legend George Harrison mortgaged his house and put that money in the movie.

Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson has revealed that he is “suffering from an incurable lung disease... exacerbations”, but he's okay if he's "kept in a reasonably pollution-free environment in terms of air quality", although "my days are numbered”, Variety reports. The 72-year-old rocker pointed to fog machines as a major culprit, stating - “I’ve spent 50 years of my life onstage among those wretched things that I call smoke machines. Today, they’re politely referred to as hazers, as if they’re somehow innocent and not damaging to your lungs. I really do believe that’s a very significant part of the problem I have”.
