In 2002 Pavarotti split with his manager of 36 years Herbert Breslin. The break up, which was acrimonious, was followed in 2004 with the publication of a book by Breslin entitled 'The King & I', seen by many as largely critical and sensationalist, of the singers acting (in opera), his ability to read music and learn parts, and of his personal conduct, although acknowledging their mutual success. In an interview in 2005 with Jeremy Paxman on the BBC Pavarotti rejected the allegation that he could not read music, although acknowledging he sometimes had difficulty following orchestral parts.
