Know its from that most PH-hated of publications, but it would appear that The Stone Roses are getting back together to tour. Was a little young to enjoy them first time round, having been born in 1990, but listened to some of their stuff recently and have to say its rather good, even has me reminiscing back to the 90s.

Great band. I walked back down the aisle to Waterfall.

However, seen them live twice, I'm afraid to say in my experience Ian Brown can not sing live.

Seen both Brown and Squire as individuals on tour. Squire was awesome! Brown.......Mmmmmm. He was actually tugged offstage and the concert had to be postponed due to him being unable to continue (I was relieved actually).

Despite that experience I really hope the reunion happens.

I'm a fan of the roses, but I think it's best left alone now.

Alternatively, from the NME...

NME said:
major music PR has called a press conference in London on Tuesday to make a "very important announcement", without stating which band or musician it relates to. When NME contacted the PR in question, they refused to confirm or deny the name of the artist making the announcement.

In a new twist, former Stone Roses drummer Alan 'Reni' Wren has got in touch with NME, sending us a cryptic message that appears to suggest he will not be involved in any planned reunion.

His message read:

"Not before 9T will I wear the hat 4 the Roses again"

Reni quit The Stone Roses in March 1995 and was replaced by Robbie Maddix.

The new reunion reports come six months after The Sun reported that singer Ian Brown and guitarist John Squire had "buried the hatchet", paving the way for a comeback. The story was hinged on the pair meeting at bassist Mani's mum's funeral, the first time the pair were believed to have met since 1996.

Mani subsequently refuted the reports, calling them "total fantasy island gear" and telling NME he was "disgusted that my personal grief has been invaded and hijacked by these nonsensical stories. It isn't true and isn't happening."

Back in June, Squire also dismissed rumours of a reformation, commenting that the idea of bands reforming for a cash windfall was "tragic".

Whilst be amazing to have a reunion. Have them organise a massive press conferance only to say no we are not doing it would be very funny
