Stone Roses resurrected THE STONE ROSES are getting back together after IAN BROWN and JOHN SQUIRE buried the hatchet on one of the most bitter feuds in rock 'n' roll history.
The former best pals hadn't spoken for the best part of 15 years after falling out in a war of words when the band imploded back in 1996.
But the boys were brought back together in tricky circumstances last month at bandmate MANI's mum's funeral.
Frontman Ian broke the ice over a cuppa at the wake - and before long they were hugging, back-slapping and reminiscing about the good times.
The megabucks reunion is now being lined up to happen later in the year.
And I haven't been this excited since I got my first BMX in 1986.
A source said: "Ian has been mulling over reaching out to John for a while now. A lot of water has gone under the bridge and everyone has grown up. Ian has just gone through a tough time with a divorce and then Mani's mum's funeral brought everyone back under the same roof.
"It was an emotional reunion. There were no harsh words. It was a heartwarming breaking of bread.
"They had a lot to catch up on and have been in regular contact since."
There must be something in the water up in Manchester. This summer will see TAKE THAT back on the road together after GARY BARLOW and ROBBIE WILLIAMS settled old scores.
Their fall-out was a lovers' tiff compared with the acrimony between the swaggering Stone Roses frontman and one of the best rock'n'roll guitarists this country has produced.
Quantcast
John walked out on the band in 1996 with insults flying back and forth. The band had gone through a turbulent few years with all sorts of bad luck, bad management and bad behaviour.
A legal row with their label Silvertone rumbled on for five years - robbing fans of the band at their prime. The band hardly earned a penny at the time - one of the biggest music travesties of all time. Their first album remains one of the best debuts ever.
The only stumbling block they now face is pinning down former drummer RENI, which is about as easy as trapping mercury, according to my Manc pals.
Mani, one of the best blokes in music, deserves the big swansong. He's had the rock'n'roll lifestyle playing bass with PRIMAL SCREAM but now he'll be back with his proper pals.
A Roses reunion will be something very special indeed. Getting tickets for the gig will be another problem altogether.

Is there a proper source for this? (e.g.; not the sun)?

There're 3 bands that I don't want to reunion:
The Smiths
The Jam
The Stone Roses
I have a mixed feeling about The Roses to reunion.

It's good news if true that Ian Brown and John Squire are mates again, but there's nothing there which suggests that will necessarily lead to a reunion, especially since Squire's been certain about not wanting to be involved in music for a good while now. Really hope it doesn't happen anyway, keep the bucks and save the legacy.

This better happen. Legacy my hole, look at how the band broke up, nothing they do could be worse than those gigs.

would certainly be interesting if it were to happen, but I just hope it would be a success because if it fails it would tarnish a once great band

 Stand true, John. (Though, to be honest, I'll be in the queue to buy tickets if it's true. Yes, I am part of the problem.) |

if it happens then it'll be massive, I'm sure they wouldn't want to do a full tour, so I'd imagine Knebworth or somewhere?  |

Clint Boon talking about it here apparently..... www.nme.com/news/the-stone-roses/55974I'm in agreement that in an ideal world they should save their legacy as it is and not reform like many pop bands are but I'm going to be greedy and say do it so that I can see them. It's gonna be really interesting to see if we get a gig, a tour or maybe even a new record. They never did do themselves justice after that first album. What ever happens though it will hopefully give the music industry a boost. |

i don't know how much of this i believe. once it comes from a more reputable source than the sun, then we'll start talking. Stand true, John. (Though, to be honest, I'll be in the queue to buy tickets if it's true. Yes, I am part of the problem.) although, in fairness, they already desecrated the stone roses name once with "second coming." |

Mani quashes Stone Roses reunion rumours"Two old friends meeting up after 15 years to pay their respects to my mother does not constitute the reformation of The Stone Roses. Please fuck off and leave it alone. It isn't true and isn't happening." www.nme.com/news/the-stone-roses/55977

strange because Mani was the one who was right up for a reunion before.
Wasnt Reni also interested but it was purely down to Brown not wanting to?

Mani wasn't really up for it either. In a past Q magazine (maybe last months or so), he basically said Primal Scream comes first. They're his family now, he's been with them for much longer now anyway.
