The Stone Roses will only reunite as Ian Brown "needs the cash"
The Stone Roses Shaun Ryder has claimed The Stone Roses will only reunite as front man Ian Brown "needs the cash".
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, Ryder said he believed a reunion was imminent: "I think it'll happen, I really do. There is more of a chance now than ever of them getting back together.“
Ryder added Brown’s recent split from his wife may fuel the chances: “Ian [Brown]'s just split with his missus and I bet she's hit him for a few quid.”
The Happy Mondays-man concluded: "The only reason they [The Stone Roses] will get back together is if Ian needs the cash. He never has before, he's a millionaire."
The Stone Roses were said to be reforming earlier this year, following claims Ian Brown and guitarist John Squire had ended their 15-year feud. While a representative for bass player Gary 'Mani' Mounfield dismissed the speculation, rumours the 'Fools Gold' band are to get back together remain persistent.
