The
34-year-old Eurovision 2022 runner-up spoke with Reuters about
how "Fought & Lost" echoed his own journey in the music
industry, collaborating with his hero Brian May and his hair
care routine. He also revealed what's on Ryder's rider.
Q. What was it like working with Queen’s Brian May?
Ryder: "The song is about never giving up and chasing your
dreams ... I was a kid rushing off the school bus to run
upstairs and put my guitar on and practice Queen songs. Fifteen
years later, I'm getting a phone call from Brian May, playing
guitar on one of my songs to be used in a show that's now
nominated for an Emmy Award.
“He's like my hero, not just as a guitar player and a
songwriter, but as a human being. What he advocates and how kind
he is.”
Q. Tell me the secrets to your hair care routine?
Ryder: “My hair care routine is going to kind of be quite
controversial. I wash it and I go to bed with it completely just
fresh, wet out the shower. I literally go to bed, tuck it up
behind my pillow and go to sleep.”
Q. What’s on Sam Ryder’s rider?
Ryder: "On my rider is lots of fruit and vegetables, lots of
ginger shots, and also loads of vegan chocolate. Vegan chocolate
isn't great, I'm going to be honest with you."
"Every country we go to we want to try the best vegan chocolate
they can find. And we've got a little scoresheet that we're
keeping amongst the crew of our favorites."
