Happy Mondays' Paul Ryder died hours before he was due to perform in Sunderland
A statement shared on the group's official Facebook read: "The Ryder family and Happy Mondays band members are deeply saddened and shocked to say that Paul Ryder passed away this morning."We thank you for respecting the privacy of all concerned at this time."
Paul co-founded Happy Mondays in Salford in 1980. The original line-up was Shaun, Paul, Gary Whelan on drums, Paul Davis on keyboard and Mark Day on guitar. In 2019, Paul hit out at his brother Shaun for being a "kn*b". He told the Mirror: "Our Shaun should change his name by deed poll to Walter Mitty. I’m gonna need four years away from them all to get over it."
“For 30 years I’ve bit my tongue. But not any more. The tour is starting, our fans are back and people deserve to know my story.
