Hot Press is looking forward to hanging at the upcoming Metropolis festival with our old friend Howard Marks who was diagnosed in January as suffering from inoperable colon cancer.
His new book, Mr Smiley: My Last Pill And Testament, is a great read with a chapter awaiting your free perusal at [link]extracts.panmacmillan.com/extract?isbn=9781509809691&utm_source=panmacmillan.com%20Mr%20Smiley%20Book%20Page[/link]
Despite his illness, Howard is in great form as evidenced by him messaging the other day: "Twitter means you can turn the tables on people. I'm now following @FBI. It was the other way around for years. See how they like it!"
We still have fond memories of him comprehensively pissing Mary Harney off on the Late Late Show!
