Shaun Ryder was stunned to be shown a picture of a man being pulled along by a chain at a sex party – and realised it was him.
The Happy Mondays frontman said he had “totally forgotten” he was involved in a promo for Ibiza club Manumission while a real orgy was happening behind him.

Shaun, 60, revealed: “We spent a lot of time at Manumission. I wonder why! I saw this photograph from there on the internet, or maybe Rowetta (a band mate) posted it.
“It’s a guy in chains with an earring in, and these three guys are pulling him along on a big thick chain, and in the background there’s this sex-party thing going on.

“I was looking at this picture, and I thought, ‘God, that guy even looks a bit like me!’
“He’s all trussed up and being dragged along on all fours, with all these blokes around him – and women, I might add!
“And they’re all going at it! And then I thought, ‘F***ing hell, it is me!’”
Hellraiser Shaun said he and best pal Bez were rave regulars at the Spanish dance club in their pomp.

He added: “This was a thing to promote Manumission, and I’d totally forgotten that we did it.
“It was a picture shoot, but it was a shoot that was real, if you know what I mean – it was all for the photographs, but everything that was happening was happening.
“There were a lot of parties like that at Manumission.”
Shaun also admitted in Bez’s new book Buzzin’ that the pair are so close that it is “like a sexless marriage between him and me”.

He joked: “He probably wants more out of it. I don’t.”
Shaun and his Happy Mondays pal Bez have had a strong friendship for years, but the star was forced to miss the wedding day of his pal mere months ago.
Bez tied the knot back in September without his close pal by his side – but luckily Shaun was able to deliver a message via video after being unable to attend due to work commitments.
