Description

Shaun Ryder's life has been a rollercoaster ride of excess and redemption. As lead singer of the Happy Mondays, he helped shape Manchester into a musical phenomenon, earning praise from impresario Tony Wilson as 'the greatest poet since Yeats'. From humble beginnings to huge chart success, Ryder's story is one of highs and lows. Ryder's struggles with addiction and personal demons led to the collapse of Factory Records and the split of his band. However, he refused to be defined by his struggles, instead using them as fuel for a remarkable comeback. With new band Black Grape, he topped the charts with their groundbreaking debut album, cementing his status as a musical genius. This is Ryder's story, told in his own words, offering a candid and unflinching look at a life that has been marked by both creative triumphs and personal turmoil.
