The Stone Roses are rolling in money after their recent reunion has left them Ј1.8 million ($2.8 million) richer.
Bassist Mani recalled to the Sun the amusing experience of checking his bank balance and seeing the new bank balance.
"It's madness. I only went out to buy milk and things," he said.
"I went to the cashpoint and someone has stuck nearly 2million in while I wasn't looking. The whole world's gone crazy. I could have fallen over backwards when I saw the balance."
The band first hit fame as part of the "
Madchester" movement which was born from punk but played a major part in the history of club music in the early 1990s. Associated artists include
New Order, the
Fall and
Happy Mondays who announced their own reformation yesterday.
The Stone Roses split in 1996, after harsh criticism of their live sets. In one instance, singer Ian Brown's vocals were described as "so off-key it was excruciating to have to listen."
They first announced their reformation in October last year, with 225,000 tickets for three hometown gigs selling out within one hour.
Unsurprisingly, they have signed record deals with Universal and Sony, and will be writing new songs for their summer festival and stadium appearances. A new album is also in the works, though no release date has been announced.
