Proper sad day.

As a young airsafari coming to the end of his school days the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays etc …. And the whole scene surrounding them was very much a big part of my life.

Music tastes change and develop as the years pass but one constant has always remained and that has been the Stone Roses.

Sat here typing this as a John Squire wkfest Waterfall guitar solo plays through my EarPods with dust getting in to my eyes.

RIP Mani.

Hit me this one.

I’m no Roses die hard, but I was 12 going on 13 in ‘89 and the Madchester music was all around my early secondary school years at a difficult time.

RIP Mani and hope your peers make it well beyond your far too young age of 63 frown
