Turning 40 and realising you have not planned for retirement is a nightmare for some, for James Arben, it was a reality.
The saxophonist from London has spent his life touring, playing Glastonbury and even performing with Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant. But while enjoying the moment he failed to plan for his future.
“I panicked when I got to 40 when I realised I had nothing outside of a tiny teachers’ pension I get for giving music lessons a couple of days a week,” he said.
