Shaun Ryder missed Mani’s 2025 funeral due to pneumonia, though he’s recovering and touring.
Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder revealed he missed the December 2025 funeral of Stone Roses bassist Gary “Mani” Mounfield due to severe pneumonia contracted during a Black Grape tour.
Ryder, who fell ill around December 20, was too unwell to travel and collapsed upon returning home the day before the service.
He credited antibiotics with aiding his recovery, though he remained bedridden through much of Christmas.
Mounfield, 63, died in November 2025 and was a founding member of the Stone Roses and Primal Scream.
Ryder discussed the loss and his upcoming 35th-anniversary tour for *Pills ‘N’ Thrills And Bellyaches* on BBC Breakfast alongside bandmate Bez, who attended the funeral.
