John Squire Dismisses Stone Roses Reunion

John Squire has 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.

"When it's just a get-together for a big payday and everyone gets their old clothes out, that seems tragic to me,” he said.

Speaking of recent rumours that the group might get back together, Squire added:  "I don't see these rumours as special or flattering.

“It's a symptom of the times. People who can afford to waste money on gigs now are of a certain age and The Stone Roses fit their brief."

Stone Roses released two studio albums but dissolved six months after Squire left the band in 1996.
