Happy Mondays star Paul Ryder laid to rest as Manchester’s music scene pay respects
Some of the biggest names in Manchester’s music scene were amongst those in attendance at the funeral of Happy Mondays ’ guitarist Paul Ryder today.
The service featured Paul's bandmate Rowetta singing Bridge Over Troubled Water before prayers and then David Bowie's Starman as the recessional music. A week ago, the Happy Mondays released a charity EP in his honour and brother Shaun said: "This special release of Tart Tart showcases the unique musical talent of our brother Paul Ryder who passed from this world ... we will all miss you Horse...he brought the funk and the rock n roll to Happy Mondays ... love you long time R kid."
