  Article from Uncut, June 1997
Billy described this as "the happiest time, a really courtesan period," despite the fact that, due to his increasingly flamboyant, Bowie/Ferry-inspired appearance, he was relentlessly picked on by Neanderthal Dundonians, who would batter him with poles, push him under buses, break his hands and split open his head.
Billy came back again in 1988 with a HI- NRG version of Blondie's "Heart Of Glass", which was designed to promote Associates' fourth LP, The Glamour Chase, although the album was never released, either because Warners weren't happy with it, or because it was never actually completed.
Billy invited me to his flat to hear some demos, a visit that was to be postponed until August because of the shattering death, in July, of Lily Mackenzie.

 Memory Palace album review from Uncut Dec 1999
On the night of Wednesday, January 22, 1997, Billy MacKenzie, outrageously gifted vocalist with The Associates and writer of some of the most extraordinary music of the last decade - or any decade - was found dead by his father, having taken a fatal combination of Paracetemol (a whole bottle) and the anti-depressant, Amitriptyline.
Not only was he the first star of his generation to commit suicide, but he had been working furiously on a variety of projects, and had just signed a deal with Suede's label, Nude.
There shall be others - right to the end, he was playing Billy Whizz: one-off exercises with exotic names like Winter Academy, Outerpol and Eclectatronica should be available over the next few months - but this will do nicely for now.
