Soul singer Joss Stone hates being famous and is so lonely she cries herself to sleep - according to her ex-boyfriend.

BEAU DOZIER dated the British singer for two years before they split late last year (NOV06), and insists Stone hates being in the limelight so much.

He says, "She's sacrificed so much and it's difficult for her. Life on tour is a lonely road and she suffers from loneliness a lot. She'll often be on her own in hotels crying herself to sleep.

"She doesn't give a f**k about fame. I don't think she wants to be famous at all. She'd rather share her music with nobody knowing who she was."

Dozier also reveals Stone is a perfectionist who doesn't rate her best-selling two albums, adding, "She is so driven. She never thinks her music is good enough. She didn't feel her first two albums were good, even though they were amazing."
