Shaun Ryder Teeth: How did Shaun Ryder lose his teeth?
The Happy Mondays singer acknowledged that after misusing heroin, crack cocaine, and ecstasy to the point where he lost all of his teeth during his prime, he now overdoes on healthy exercise.
The father of six, who has two younger daughters with his wife Joanne, Lulu and Pearl, is grateful for their influence on his choice to make a change in his life.
The dad said, “I have grown, adult children, but I also have eight and nine-year-olds.” And they served as my primary inspiration for altering my behavior.
