When he attends an ayahuasca ceremony, he’s told: “We’ve never, ever encountered anybody who has as many hallucinations as you do.” And at some point after recovering from jaundice, pleurisy and hepatitis B, he is held hostage by “some c**t with a gun in my face”, more of which later. Bulbul, Nuray (6 February 2022). "Who is Bez's fiancee and how long have they been together?". Chelmsford Chronicle. Chelmsford . Retrieved 28 August 2022. I met my fiance, Firouzeh Razavi, nearly nine years ago. It was her 30th birthday and she was having a drink with her friends, while I was out with my mate. We walked into this bar, our eyes met across the table, and that was it. I’m not normally romantic, but I tried to make it special when I proposed to her. I set up a posh picnic basket and got her family and my family to wait on the top of this mountain near where we live. Me and Firouzeh walked up the mountain and she noticed a big letter D that I’d put out in tribute to her younger brother who’d died. Then she saw her dad. And her sisters and everyone else, and I proposed. It was great. And it’s easier if everyone is there so you don’t have to tell them all separately afterwards. McLoughlin, Lisa (7 September 2022).

Bez from Happy Mondays to publish ‘completely mad’ memoir

I think there was a failing there,” he says, “because I expected the case to be found in my favour. There was no evidence of assault. It was my word against [his girlfriend’s] word.” According to Bez, the two have a good relationship today, and share a son. “But I fought the law, and the law let me down.” Whatever he may say, the uncomfortable fact is that he was convicted. Three-quarters of all domestic abuse cases are closed early without the suspect being charged, according to a 2021 report.

In a funny way,” says the father of three, and grandfather of one, “I’ve lived a charmed life. But, you know, like everyone else, I’m still two or three pay cheques away from being homeless again, and I never forget that. I worry about putting food on the table every day, so I’m in the job market. I’m open to offers.” Bez Interview – Hit The Floor Magazine".

Mark Berry – forever known to the world as Bez– became the so-called Chemical Generation’s bug-eyed pied piper, every weekend leading millions out to oblivion and beyond, as they adopted his E-gobbling party lifestyle. Because Bez himself makes for an unreliable narrator, the book frequently gives paragraphs over to his Happy Monday comrade, Shaun Ryder, himself an unreliable narrator. “You could throw him out of a jumbo jet at 50,000 feet,” Ryder says of Bez, “and he’ll land on a mattress and walk away.” Bez and his family on a fishing trip in Cornwall (Photo: Supplied) It’s just life, innit? I know people who’ve lived a life of high adventure; I always thought mine was f**king boring compared to theirs.” This is plain nonsense, for even a cursory dip into the book reveals the sort of tossed-aside snippets most other tomes might make a major feature of. “When I regained consciousness, I was in hospital,” he writes at one point. “I [then] caught the MRSA superbug, a really f**king nasty one.” He was in a coma for a month. “Multiple organ failures, heart failures, all sorts of shit going down. I was given the last rites.” In August 2021 it was announced that Bez would be a competitor on BBC's Celebrity MasterChef and in October 2021 that he would be a competitor on the fourteenth series of Dancing on Ice in 2022.

[4] Career [ edit ] Bez introducing Ziggy Marley at GuilFest in 2011 Neither an accomplished musician nor even a very good dancer, Bez was a prime candidate for fleeting celebrity, soon to sink into ‘Where Are They Now?’ obscurity. Occasionally, he admits, there are bouts of depression, though he prefers the term “low moods”, for which he self-medicates by reading books, everything from David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas to something called Return of the Warriors: The Toltec Teachings Volume 1 by Theun Mares, an “action-based approach to life” guide that sounds both complicated and convoluted, but which Bez describes as “brilliant”. Today, he remains a recreational drug user, but eats healthily and extols the virtues of vitamin C and apple cider vinegar.Ryder, who was recently diagnosed with ADHD, is insistent that Bez has the same condition, but Bez refuses to be tested. “Not interested, mate.” Bez with Angela Egan in Dancing on Ice (Photo: Matt Frost/ITV)
