Dylan has also been known to be ruthlessness in his love affairs. His on-off relationship with Susan Rotolo, who was famously pictured with Dylan on the cover of his second album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, ran into trouble when he went to stay at the home of fellow singer Joan Baez in the mid-Sixties.
This sparked a two-year romance that ended when Baez found another woman answering the door of his hotel room.
His first marriage to former Playboy model Sara Lowndes came when she was pregnant with their son, Jesse, in 1965. The union seems to have been undermined by Dylan's drug-taking and womanizing, which became worse as he toured.
The final straw came one morning in 1977 when Sara went down to breakfast at their New York home and discovered her husband sitting at the table with their children - and a woman called Malka, a poetess who had apparently spent the night with her husband.
In the argument which followed, Sara claimed that Dylan hit her and told her to leave the house. Sara won custody of the children and Dylan hit back by having an affair with Faridi McFree, a therapist whom she hired to help the children cope with the upheaval of the divorce. It was all quite ugly.
