Happy Mondays maracas player and serial pill muncher, Bez, has been declared bankrupt for a second time.

The 43-year-old was originally made bankrupt in August 2004 and went into the Celebrity Big Brother House in early 2005 in a bid to clear his debts. He pocketed £50,000 after winning that show.

However, this money clearly wasn’t enough to keep him in the black. On March 31 he was officially declared bankrupt at the High Court.

As the BBC reports, on the insolvency register Bez was listed as “a journalist and musician.”

Happy Mondays released their latest album ‘Uncle Dysfunctional’ last year. Despite some positive reviews it was a relative commercial flop.
