He has since had success with groups Black Grape and Gorillaz.
Who is Shaun Ryder?
Shaun Ryder was born in Manchester, England, on 23 August 1962.
He left school at the age of 13 to work on a building site before pursuing his passion for music.
Despite being broke several time sin his life, Shaun is believed to have raked up a fortune.
It is reported he has a net worth of £2.5M.
This is down to TV work and touring.
What is Shaun Ryder's background in music?
In 1980 he formed Happy Mondays alongside his brother Paul Ryder (bass) and their friends Mark Day (guitar), Paul Davis (keyboard) and Gary Whelan (drums), with Mark "Bez" Berry later joining the band as a percussionist.
The group - who helped pioneer the Madchester sound - released a slew of hits including Step On, Kinky Afro and 24 Hour Party People.
In 1995 Shaun founded group Black Grape, whose first album, It's Great When You're Straight... Yeah, shot to the top of the British chart.
Unfortunately, the band's follow-up album, Stupid Stupid Stupid, didn't achieve the same success leading to their split in 1998.
On 4 August 2017, the group released Pop Voodoo, their first full album since 1997.
Shaun also enjoyed monumental chart success when he lent his vocals to Gorillaz hit Dare in 2005.
Is Shaun Ryder married and does he have any children?
Shaun got married to his wife Joanne back in 2010.
The pair had invited their nearest and dearest to St Charles RC Church in Swinton for the christening of their 10-month-old daughter Lulu but they then surprised everyone by making it a double celebration and tying the knot straight afterwards at the nearby Court House in Worsley.
The pair have two daughters, Pearl and Lulu.
Shaun also has four other children from previous relationships.
What TV shows has Shaun Ryder been on?
In 2010 Ryder became an unlikely national treasure when he was runner-up to Stacey Solomon on I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! where he famously braved a snake bite, describing it as “like putting your hand through sheet glass”.
The star made his return to reality TV after agreeing to appear on ITV's 100 Years Younger in 21 Days.
The programme saw several celebrities attempt to reverse the ageing process through a number of shocking procedures.
He is also set to appear in the I'm A Celeb: All Stars which will air in 2023.
