More about: The Stone Roses
Jeff Buckley tracks Best line-ups of the summer ranked STars on Trump Earlier this week, one cryptic tweet sent Stone Roses fans into a frenzy over the possibility of new music coming this Friday. Now though, it seems fairly likely that the whole thing was just a joke.
As NME reports, Guardian journalist Ben Green recently tweeted, "SR040316", which many fans took to indicate that new Stone Roses music was coming this Friday (4 March). Or, at the very least, some sort of announcement was on the way.
Unfortunately, it seems neither of those is true. Taking to Twitter this morning to address the since deleted tweet, Green wrote, "Today, I have wrongly become an internet sensation, rumour-monger and - more worryingly - a quoted Gdn journalist." He added, "That said, I did once see Ian Brown in Holland Park. Where he lives."
He also added, the final nail in the coffin of possible new music, "I spoke to Mani last night and he says it's bollocks."
