With agency reports,
American entertainer, David Gest suffered from amnesia caused by ex-wife Liza Minelli hitting him on the head with a shoe, a friend of the late producer has claimed.
His pal Mark Lester told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: ‘He was crippled by amnesia and got in touch two weeks ago. He wanted to remember the happy times with Liza. Although their marriage was volatile and ended badly, he loved her.
‘But he said his memory had gone because of clashes in their relationship and being struck on the head by Liza’s stiletto.
‘He was frustrated, I feel sad I could not help him close the gaps.’
The music producer was found dead in a London hotel room earlier this week, aged 62.
David and Liza had a volatile relationship and he claimed to be a victim of domestic violence when their 16-month marriage ended in 2003.
A spokesperson for Liza has denied the claims.
They said: ‘There is no truth to the report whatsoever.’
