Summary

Ryder quipped about ITV's Good Morning Britain on BBC Breakfast.
He collapsed with pneumonia before Mani's funeral.
Antibiotics aided his recovery after six weeks of illness.

Shaun Ryder caused a stir during a BBC Breakfast appearance by referencing ITV's rival show, Good Morning Britain. He and bandmate Bez were discussing the 35th anniversary of their album, Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches, and an upcoming tour.

Ryder also shared details about his recent health struggles, revealing he suffered from pneumonia over the Christmas period. This illness led to him collapsing the day before the funeral of his friend, Mani, the bassist for The Stone Roses, preventing him from attending.

After a difficult six weeks, Ryder has since recovered thanks to a course of antibiotics. He humorously described the medication as a 'nuclear bomb' that quickly resolved his illness, allowing him to recently get out of bed and prepare for the band's extensive 22-date tour.
