He’s the wild man of rock who became a national treasure.

Happy Mondays and Black Grape frontman Shaun Ryder is hitting the road for a new, spoken word tour.

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.

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.

Strap yourselves in and say Hallelujah for Shaun.
