After much speculation The Stone Roses this afternoon confirmed they are reuniting for two huge UK shows and a world tour.
Announcing the news at a press conference in London’s Soho Hotel at 3pm (BST) this afternoon they revealed plans for two homecoming gigs at Heaton Park on June 29th and 30th 2012.
The gigs will include the original line-up of frontman Ian Brown, guitarist John Squire, bassist Mani and drummer Reni, reuniting the boys after a 15-year feud. Frontman Brown said: “This is a live resurrection, and you’re invited, so you’d better be there.
When asked if they are planning a new album Brown also revealed: “We hope so. But we said that before didn’t we?” Later, Brown also said the band decided to finally reform because “at times like this you can uplift people” and the band would carry on “until the wheels fall off.
