- On December 17, 2004, Andy Bell revealed that he has been HIV-positive since 1998 and later said in an interview, “There are definitely HIV-positive people who meet other HIV-positive men, and like still having unprotected sex. I think it must be quite hard for young gay men because there is so much for them now to do — there are so many saunas and stuff like that for them to go to, and it’s so easy to get it.”

- Over the years, he has appeared on shows like The Rosie O’Donnell Show, The Big Breakfast, Top of the Pops, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Loose Women, and Popstar to Operastar.
