The forthcoming Stone Roses documentary, Made Of Stone by Shane Meadows has sold out of tickets in less than a minute.

Tickets went on sale yesterday (18 April) for the screening, which will take place at Victoria Warehouse in Manchester, and are all already sold out.

Tickets also sold out for the UK cinemas who are taking part in the nationwide broadcast, which has led to Picturehouse putting on additional screens to meet demands.

According to NME, Meadows said of the news, "I'd love to think the tickets selling out so quick was down to the fan base I've built up over the last 15-20 years, but I know it's them lot that everyone's really coming to see.

"Bald Chunkers like me don't sell out stadiums, but if we've got a Guinness World Record I would deffo take the credit."

Meadows also recently spoke about the film in an interview with Channel 4, telling Jon Snow, "It's not very often one of your heroes asks you to make a documentary about your all time favourite band, that are getting back together after twenty years."

He was not only given unprecedented access to the band for almost a year, but he also followed fans of the Stone Roses around the world, to understand the influence that the band's music has on them.

The film will debut for the first time on Thursday 30 May and have a general release on 5 June.
