Some will say they are doing it for fool's gold, others will wonder if – as they enter middle age – they just wanna be adored. But fans of the Stone Roses will only care about one thing: the band have confirmed they are reuniting, with two gigs planned for next year, followed by a world tour.

They will be playing new songs, but when asked about a new album Ian Brown said: "We hope so, but we said that before didn't we?" He added: "We'll ride this until the wheels come off, like we did last time."

Despite legal wrangling with record companies, fall-outs and vehement assurances they would never get back together, the original lineup – singer Ian Brown, guitarist John Squire, bassist Gary "Mani" Mounfield and drummer Alan "Reni" Wren – announced two gigs at Heaton Park in Manchester on 29 and 30 June 2012.

The long-awaited news – the resurrection has been some time in coming, with rumours circulating for several years – was announced at a packed Soho Hotel in central London.[/quote]

Personally I'm approaching this with cautious optimism. As great as the Stone Roses were, it's going to be interesting to see if they can pull off this reunion as well as other recently reformed '90s bands, like Pulp and Take That.

Will do pretty much anything to get my hands on one of the tickets!
