Happy Mondays’ dancer and percussionist Bez says giving up sugar proved tougher than abandoning cocaine after years of partying
The 62-year-old has embraced a quieter life in Herefordshire with his personal trainer wife Firouzeh Razavi, growing vegetables, juicing and exercising
He still enjoys tequila and the occasional gathering, but credits intermittent fasting with helping him change direction
Bez also reflected on his turbulent youth and joining the band after meeting frontman Shaun Ryder through Manchester’s party scene
His reality television appearances, including Celebrity Big Brother and Celebrity Gogglebox, have introduced him to a new generation of fans.
