How to Be a Rock Star
THE TOP TEN BESTSELLER 'Candid, brilliant and bizarre' Guardian 'Stories about the frontman and his bandmates are legion ... [like] Peter Kay with menaces' The Sunday Times As lead singer of Happy Mondays and Black Grape, Shaun Ryder was the Keith Richards and Mick Jagger of his generation. A true rebel, who formed and led not one but two seminal bands, he's had number-one albums, headlined Glastonbury, toured the world numerous times, taken every drug under the sun, been through rehab - and come out the other side as a national treasure. Now, for the first time, Shaun lifts the lid on the real inside story of how to be a rock star. With insights from three decades touring the world, which t...
Twisting My Melon
"If you've got to be told by someone, then it's got to be me,' sang Shaun Ryder on the Happy Mondays' first album. As lead singer of the Mondays, Ryder epitomised the Madchester scene, combining all the excesses of a true rock'n'roll star with music and lyrics that led impresario Tony Wilson to describe him as 'the greatest poet since Yeats'. Following the success of two huge albums, a Glastonbury headline slot and world tours in the early '90s, Shaun's drug troubles reached their height, Factory Records were brought to their knees and the Mondays split. Two years later Shaun reinvented himself with new band Black Grape, and once again he topped the charts. These heady highs were matched by the bottomless lows of bankruptcy and continuing addiction, but time and again Ryder would defy the odds with new critically acclaimed albums and collaborations, proving his musical genius. His success on 2010's I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! spawned a whole new generation of fans. Now, for the first time, Shaun Ryder is ready to tackle the myths, the legends and the truth, all in his own words."

Wrote For Luck
In the mid-1980s the Happy Mondays emerged as the prime mischief makers on the Madchester scene. Chief protagonist was Shaun Ryder, a man whose lyrical street swagger in songs like Kinky Afro, 24 Hour Party People and Performance, would come to define a generation. Here collected and edited for the first time, in trade and special editions, are his unforgettable lyrics.
Hallelujah!
Prompted by a surprise tax bill, Shaun Ryder decided to reform Happy Mondays and tour with the band in 1999. John Warburton, his close confidant, went along for the ride and this is his account of the most bizarre reunion tour ever.
