No more Stone Roses ever - pledge

Ian Brown has insisted that there's not enough money in the world to tempt him back to reunite with the Roses:

"I've got offers to play in 15 different countries [as a solo act]. I really enjoy collaborating with whoever I want and going round the world.

"I know the Roses mean a lot to people, but I haven't really thought about it much in the last ten years.

"We get offered a lot of money to do it. I know they say every man his price, but I'm not for sale."

Of course, anyone who really loved the Roses wishes they'd actually split before the second album, rather than hopes they'd reunite in early middle age.
