Happy Mondays frontman, Shaun Ryder, has released a new book packed with jaw-dropping, side-splitting, mind-bending stories.
Following the success of his first book – Shaun Ryder: Happy Mondays, And Fridays, And Saturdays, And Sundays – he’s released a second memoir of madness, music and mayhem. Available to pre-order from awaywithmedia.com, 24 Hour Party Person is a no-holds-barred ride through the highs, lows and chemically-enhanced in-betweens of a true rock ’n’ roll original.
Dodging bullets in Jamaica, surviving a gunpoint ordeal in New York and escaping kidnap in Amsterdam are just part of this unfiltered gospel according to the Happy Mondays and Black Grape frontman.
With a wit sharper than a dealer’s razor and stories wilder than Bez on a trampoline, Shaun lifts the lid on the studio sessions, the bust-ups, the benders, the making of era-defining albums – and the importance of family.
It’s a tale of survival, swagger and second chances. Strap yourself in… and prepare to have your melons well and truly twisted.
Shaun said: “I had a right laugh writing my first book and people liked it so when the chance to write another came up, I thought ‘why not?’ I’ve got even more mad tales to tell. I’ve written more books than Shakespeare now – well, nearly!”
Each copy is signed personally by Shaun Ryder on an exclusive book plate. The book compliments Shaun’s Q&A tour which returns to theatres in England this autumn.
Books, priced £45, are available to pre-order now. Full details here.
