The Stone Roses' Mani Finds 2 Million Pounds In His Bank Account

The Stone Roses' Mani has revealed that he was left speechless after becoming 1.8million pounds richer overnight.

The bassist said he had no idea the funds had been transferred as an advance for the band's shows and world tour this summer.

"It's madness. I only went out to buy milk and things,'' he told The Sun.

"I went to the cashpoint and someone has stuck nearly 2million in while I wasn't looking.

"The whole world's gone crazy. I could have fallen over backwards when I saw the balance."

As previously reported on Gigwise, The Stone Roses have signed two record deals ahead of their reunion shows.

Universal Records have signed the band in the UK and worldwide, while Columbia, owned by Sony, have contracted the band in the US.

Ian Brown revealed that The Stone Roses have recorded new songs during rehearsals for their live shows.

The move is set to make the band millions, after Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani and Reni announced details of three homecoming shows at Manchester's Heaton Park in June, with further festivals appearances at V, T In The Park and Spain's Benicassim.
