Happy Mondays’ bassist Paul Ryder has died at the age of 58.
Despite being fans, we’ve never seen the band live, as they rarely tour to the midwest… and their recent reunion 2012 tour only took place in the UK.
Their music can be found on various films we love, including 24 Hour Party People (Britpop on Films) and The World's End (by Edgar Wright).
