Happy Mondays star Paul Ryder 'left just £6,000 to his daughter' after his shock death at the age of 58 just hours before a gig


The musician, who is the brother of fellow singer Shaun Ryder , died in 2022 at the age of 58, just hours before the band were due to play a gig in Sunderland.

Documents obtained by The Sun show that Paul did not write a British will, and originally had just £13,262 in assets when he died, which was later reduced to £5,978 following the taking of debts and legal sums.
