How to Be a Rock Star [Hardcover]

Shaun Ryder is a 1990s rock 'n' roll legend. Now, for the first time, comes his hilarious, swaggering, hugely entertaining account of just what it takes to be a rock star.

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, been a figurehead of the Madchester scene, headlined Glastonbury Festival, toured the world numerous times, taken every drug under the sun, been through rehab - and came 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 took him from Salford to San Francisco, from playing working men's clubs to headlining Glastonbury and playing in front of the biggest festival crowd the world has ever seen, in Brazil, in the middle of thunderstorm.

From recording your first demo tape to having a No.1 album, covering tour bus debauchery, ridiculous riders, record company run-ins, drug dealers and the mafia, Shaun gives a fly-on-the-wall look at the rock 'n' roll lifestyle - warts and all: how to be a rock star - and also how not to be a rock star.Shaun Ryderhas been the subject of several films, written aSunday Timesbestselling autobiography, was runner-up onI'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, and is a star ofCelebrity Gogglebox. Shaun is working with his co-writerLuke Bainbridgewho also worked with Shaun on his autobiographyTwisting My Melon.
