The Stone Roses bassist Mani has confessed that he did not realise his tour advance payment would be so big.
The star revealed that he went to a cashpoint to withdraw money for food shopping only to discover that £2 million had been deposited into his account, reports the @#$
Mani told his friends back home in Stockport: "It’s madness. I only went out to buy milk and things. I went to the cashpoint and someone has stuck nearly £2 million 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 were aware that they would receive an advance from the high sales of their reunion tour and festival dates, but did not know it would be as much as they have been given.
One of my all time favourite albums and DEFINITELY my favourite concept album (beating Dream Theater’s Metropolis II: Scenes From a Memory and Maiden’s Seventh Son of a Seventh Son):
I remember seeing the Motörhead Glastonbury performance in that summer, and felt it was a bit below par. When Lemmy died it rather made sense. I think I had put the Bowie album on pre-order just after Christmas so I was looking forward to that.
Come to think of it, my wife bought me a Prince album that Christmas.
