He’s the wild man of rock who became a national treasure.
Now Shaun Ryder, front man of Happy Mondays and Black Grape, is hitting the road for a new, spoken word tour.
Taking in the length and breadth of the UK, Shaun will talk candidly about his hedonistic life in the music industry, his successful TV career, and everything in between.
The star of more-TV-shows-than-anyone-has-a-right-to-feature-on – including Celebrity Gogglebox, and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, among many others – redefined the sex’n’drugs’n’rock’n’roll lifestyle during the halcyon age of Madchester.
He’s touring in support of his new book: Happy Mondays – and Fridays and Saturdays and Sundays.
Shaun said: “I have certainly had a bit of a mad life and I can’t wait to share all my stories from Happy Mondays, Black Grape and beyond.
“This is me at my most honest; nothing is off the table – expect the unexpected and prepare for me to twist your melons, man.”
Fans can look forward to a carnival of excess, wild tales, and improbable truths, as they enjoy the talents of a unique rock’n’roll star dubbed Britpop’s answer to WB Yeats.
Shaun will share his stories during a series of intimate evenings, starting in Autumn 2024. Tickets go on sale on September 29, at 10am, at local venues.
Strap yourselves in and say Hallelujah for Shaun.
