The maracas-wielding star has opened up on his so-called “honey addiction”.Despite claiming he’s trying to cut down on sugar, the 61-year-old admitted he goes through “about a gallon, a bucket a month”. Bez, who keeps his own bees, has been a long-time advocate for the sweet stuff after taking up beekeeping 18 years ago. Known for his wild on-stage dances with Shaun Ryder, Bez even compared eating his favourite honey-laden snack to the feeling of dropping an “acid”.For the Mancunian star, a dollop of honey is now a key ingredient in his tea, coffee, and porridge – but his ultimate treat is orange segments smothered in the golden goo.Bez has one unexpected food love(Image: Getty Images)His honey obsession has ramped up since giving up sweets. Bez made the revelation while chatting to Flo on NTS Radio in their series Digging with Flo which aired on Tuesday (19 Aug), as reported by What’s The Jam.He said: “I do about a gallon, a bucket a month or something like that. That’s what my wife keeps telling me. I’m sure it kind of keeps me healthy.Article continues below“Tea, coffee, porridge, on bread, yeah, on just about anything really.“I’ve given up sweets as well recently and all that s*** because I’ve been trying to give up sugar and all that crap.

I just think he’s one of the most beautifully constructed characters in all of creativity because he’s so human and does stupid things and makes mistakes but his heart is good.Chris likes Homer’s moral compass (Image: Fox)“He’ll always make the right decision in the end. He’s angry and full of all the emotions, but ultimately he will always do the right thing.“I think maybe that’s why he’s so popular. I think that’s all of us, we hope.”Article continues belowChris has appeared in an episode of The Simpsons just like so many music legends have done before him.
