RYDER’S FREE SET OF TEETH
British rocker SHAUN RYDER was convinced to undergo a makeover and transform his "trashed" teeth when he was offered $60,000 (£40,000)-worth of dental work for free.
The Happy Mondays frontman ruined his smile with years of boozing and drug-taking, but was only persuaded to change his look with a full set of veneers when he was handed a bargain deal by a dentist.
He tells Britain’s Q magazine, "I had a completely new set put in in 2004. The others were trashed. They looked like a row of derelict houses or a street that had been bombed in the f**king war. The dentist ground what was left to little stubs and then they glue on new ones… It cost £40,000, but I didn’t have to pay. The dentist did it for free ‘cos I let him take a photograph and stick it in the paper showing what a great job he’d done. These are like show home teeth."
