Talk of a Stone Roses’ reunion may have been no more than fools’ gold, as the band’s guitarist roundly dismissed the idea today.

The Stone Roses could be on the verge of re-forming for a tour 20 years after their celebrated debut album, it was reported today.

The Stone Roses’ self-titled album will be released in a new deluxe format this summer to mark 20 years since the record first hit the shops.
