The Stone Roses Reunion Denied by Bassist

Reports in The Sun this morning (April 7th) suggested that the band could be set to reform after patching up their differences. Sadly for us, Mani has angrily denied any potential reformation from The Stone Roses, and blasted tabloid intrusion into his life!

"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." Mani said.

A very much loved group, The Stone Roses have been dogged by rumours of reformation since the moment they split back in 1996. More than a decade on, the legendary Manchester group have refused to get back together.

Focussed on their own careers, Ian Brown and Mani have continued to work in the music industry. John Squire meanwhile, is now a full time artist and spent the bulk of 2010 hosting exhibitions around the globe.

So that's that. The statement is unequivocal, and with Mani set to resume bass duties in Primal Scream for their 'Screamadelica' tour there is no sign that The Stone Roses are set to reform any time soon.

Bryan Ferry Admitted To Hospital After Falling 'Seriously ill'

Bryan Ferry has been admitted to hospital after the Roxy Music singer was reported to have fallen "seriously ill". The 65-year-old was forced to cancel an appearance at an Olympic 2012 event on 5 April after complaining of suffering ill-health for some time. He is now understood to be undergoing hospital tests.

The Daily Mail reports that a spokesperson for Ferry denied that the singer had suffered a heart attack but confirmed that he was having a medical examination.

The spokesman said: "Bryan has been feeling rough for some time and he felt even worse today. So, he thought it was best for the doctors to look into it. We're all obviously very concerned for him."

The spokesperson then added that the tests had been taken as a "precautionary measure".

Ferry has been busy recently, embarking on a world tour with Roxy Music that finished in New Zealand last month. Set to last for a gruelling four and a half month period the 65 year old singer is hoping to re-schedule the shows at some point.

Get well soon Bryan!
