Shaun Ryder: "I was a pie"

Shaun Ryder's wedding
Mar 11, 2010 Updated Mar 15, 2010

The former Happy Mondays frontman is a changed man...REALLY changed.

Wearing a very sober suit and tie - plus new teeth - the quintessential 24 hour party person and pigeon poisoner surprised everyone by marrying long-term girlfriend Joanne at the weekend, having invited nearest and dearest to the christening of their 10-month-old daughter Lulu.

Chilling tales of The Mondays' debauchery are many...In 1992, Factory Records sent the band to Barbados to record the ill-fated album Yes Please, largely because the island was free of heroin.

Ryder compensated by promptly developing a crack cocaine habit.

Shaun recently announced he is reforming his Nineties band Black Grape for an April 1 gig.

Of his new-found fitness, Shaun says "I do believe you are what you eat. I was a pie for a long time".
