The Stone Roses to split? Rumours circulate band have called it a day

Rumours are circulating that Manchester rockers The Stone Roses have split up and will be announcing that they've called it a day imminently.

Whilst there's no official confirmation or proof to suggest these reports are legit, there's been a steady build up of speculation on The Stone Roses' fan forums.

One forum user on I Am Without Shoes Too has suggested the announcement will be made as soon as next week, and cites the reason for the split as being the current incarnation of the band doesn't work in comparison to earlier line-ups.

Read the full claims below:

"I just had word from a friend who works at Universal Records and announcement will be made next week regarding the bands future. Says the bands [sic] representatives and Universals [sic] are working on ending the contract and the guys going their separate [sic] ways.

"According to a band source after all the gigs were finished trying to recreate magic between four very different entities as compared to their earlier incarnation just didn’t work. The usual obligatory band statement will conclude with them all remaining good friends and ending for good The Stone Roses."
