Shaun Ryder has written his memoir. Yes, another one – his first, Twisting My Melon came out in 2011, but, hey, that other wayward Mancunian icon, George Best, penned no less than FIVE during his lifetime.
As you’d expect, 24 Hour Party Person covers the many highs (and lows) of life in the Happy Mondays and Black Grape, as well as Ryder’s second career as a go-to character for reality TV – he’s appeared on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and Celebrity Googlebox, amongst other things. And Ryder, who - remarkably - has now reached the age of 63, has been talking about all of this to the Guardian.
