Shaun Ryder is a British institution, recognised as much for his larger than life persona and excessive drug use as for his unique work in Black Grape and the rave era-defining Happy Mondays. He's slowed down the partying in recent years and the hell raising days are a thing of the past, but with new music from both Black Grape and Happy Mondays on the way, Ryder's in the best shape of his life and the future looks brighter than ever for our kid. Someone call the cops!!!
