John Squire has downplayed the chances of a Stone Roses reunion, saying that the members “aren’t sending each other Christmas cards or anything”.The comments arose during a new interview with NME, when the former guitarist for the Britpop giants sat down with Liam Gallagher to discuss the huge response to their collaborative self-titled album and UK and European shows.Towards the end of the discussion, the topic turned to the widespread rumours that Liam Gallagher could see eye-to-eye with brother Noel, and come together to reform Oasis in time for this summer’s ‘Definitely Maybe’ 30th anniversary shows.After the former Oasis frontman reaffirmed that “it’s not happening at this moment in time”, the topic turned to the possibility of another reunion from The Stone Roses. Squire still spends time with bassist Mani, who is “into” the two’s collaborative album and even gifted Squire the amplifier that he used during the recent run of live shows.In the discussion, he recalled seeing Mani and former frontman Ian Brown at the funeral of the former’s wife Imelda, who sadly died last November.
Explaining the terms that the members are on, he told NME: “He was fine that day, but we’re not sending each other Christmas cards or anything.”Mani replaced Pete Garner in the Manchester band in 1987, remaining with them until they disbanded in 1996. He then joined Primal Scream that year, but rejoined the Stone Roses following news of their reformation in 2011.In 2016, they release two singles with ‘All For One‘ and ‘Beautiful Thing‘.
