Olive branch in Roses feud

CHART star Ian Brown has revealed his former Stone Roses bandmate John Squire tried to end their lengthy feud by writing him a song — but he refused to record it.

The singer said he was advised by his children to reject the track — even though he loved it — because Squire quit the Roses.

Fans had hoped the much-loved band would reform this year to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut album, but Squire distanced himself from the idea.
