Bert was born in Utah, February 25, 1982. He grew up in a Mormon family and was influenced by Michael Jackson to be a singer at such a young age. He dropped out of high school, was "in an out" of a lot of bands before joining The Used. His parents kicked him out of the house because he rebelled against his Mormon upbringing.

By age 17 he was addicted to crystal meth. However, he was able to overcome it with his bandmates' support. Addiction continued to follow him. According to an interview, he used to drink up to 2 bottles of Jack Daniels daily. Constant touring and alcoholism didn't mix well and while touring for The Used's self titled album, he collapsed. After consulting several doctors he was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, a severe inflammation of the pancreas caused by autodigestion of pancreatic tissue by its own enzymes. The condition most often stems from alcohol abuse or gallstones. Currently, Bert is now living a healthy lifestyle. But in late 2005, it was rumoured that he had returned to his old heavy-drinking lifestyle again.

rofl thats so sad though, his gf overdosed WITH his unborn baby?!?! crying crying crying crying crying crying

Wow. A;; the information about Bert made me respect him more.
He dedicated All That I've Got to his dog? Aww!

I get it. You don't hear about it all at once and think, "Wow, that's sad..." for everyone, but also think, "But it's not that bad, one ca n get over it." But if you hear it all at once, it's like a huge blow, sort of.
