Happy Mondays to perform without Bez
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 2 March 2012
Generally a bloke hobbling around on stage with a pair of maracas is not considered essential to a band’s performance. But there’s always an exception to the rule, and The Happy Mondays are an exception to many rules.
Happy Mondays dancer Bez has revealed that he will not be jiggling around with the band on their reunion tour. He told the NME at its awards ceremony on Wednesday night: “I won’t be on the stage because my performing days are over. Basically I’m too old. I’m incapable of doing the job, I’m carrying too many injuries. All good things come to an end”.
He will, however, be acting as a compere and DJ, so it’s not like you won’t see him if you’re one of the weird people planning on going to these shows.
