The best band and starters of the Britpop era are going to reunite next year for the 20th anniversary of their debut album (which is fantastic by the way). Here's the article:

The Stone Roses are set to reform.

The legendary British rock group - consisting of frontman Ian Brown, bassist Gary 'Mani' Mounfield, guitarist John Squires and drummer Alan 'Reni' Wren - are in talks to make a comeback next year to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut album.

Mani is particularly keen to get the band back together, and has been trying to get the rest of the group to convince Ian - who has always blamed John for the break-up of the band - it is a good idea.

Mani, who is currently the bass player for Primal Scream, told Britain's The Sun newspaper: Me, John and Reni are up for doing it and Ian just needs some working on. Next year is the 20th anniversary of the first album. It's the ideal time to do it. It's something I would love to do before we are all fat and bald. Start the campaign.

John quit the group in 1996, shortly before the rest of The Stone Roses decided to part ways, following a disastrous performance at that year's
Reading music festival. He and Ian have not spoken to each other since.

Ian has reportedly always felt it should be John who made the first steps towards reconciliation, with the guitarist stubbornly refusing to make the
initial move.

However, John is now keen to reunite for a comeback tour, while Mani has been trying to persuade Ian.

He revealed: I've been seeing Ian at Manchester United soccer matches when he's there with his kids.




^^^ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS EVER!!!

I just saw Oasis who were amazing, playing most of their old stuff, and i may go and see Stone Roses if they're only touring england because my family might be over in England at the same time. If they tour the U.S. then I'm going for sure
