The Stone Roses To Reform For 2012 Shows?

The Stone Roses will reform next year for two homecoming shows, it has been reported.

According to The Sun, the band, fronted by Ian Brown, will announce their reformation on Tuesday (October 18) 15 years after they split in 1996.

A press conference has been called in London on Tuesday by a major music PR for a "very important announcement’’.

A source told the newspaper: "It has been a tense few months putting the reunion together. A lot of issues had to be resolved and some seriously hard graft has gone on.
"
It was political, it was emotional and it was difficult. But time is a great healer and everyone has grown up. The band are determined now to go out and enjoy themselves, give the old fans a great time and pull in a few new ones."

As previously reported on Gigwise, John Squire played down the possibility of The Stone Roses ever reuniting.

In an interview with Shortlist magazine, the former guitarist said he wasn't a fan of band's getting back together after years apart.
