Statement by Private Office of Felix Dennis

Felix has been diagnosed with cancer of the pharynx (throat). Following surgery in an Oxford hospital last week, all being well, he should be discharged from hospital within 10 days.

The statement continues: “Following a month’s convalescence, Felix will begin a course of further treatment lasting several months. His chances of a full recovery are good.

On a lighter note, Felix gave up smoking on Friday 20th January 2012 after 49 years — no patches, he quit cold turkey. In addition, for medical reasons, ‘The Bearded Dwarf’ is bearded no more, although he is said to be considering a Billy Connolly-style goatee and moustache.

He has continued writing poetry since his diagnosis. These poems include ‘Love, Of A Kind’, ‘In-Flight’, ‘Wax-Mask’, ‘Kismet’, ‘The Rill of Hope’ and ‘Mind To Body’. These poems can be found on his website felixdennis.com under ‘Poetry’ / ‘Unpublished’.

The third printing of Felix Dennis’s latest book of verse, Tales From The Woods, has just been distributed by his publisher, Ebury, a division of Random House, to bookshops and online booksellers.

Important Notice: Felix has every intention of remaining both the Owner and Chairman of the Dennis group of companies worldwide. Also please do not call Felix’s Private Office for further information unless you are a friend of long standing or are a relative.
