"The Stone Roses have brushed off suggestions that they have reformed for the money. Guitarist John Squire, frontman Ian Brown, drummer Alan &amp;#039;Reni&amp;#039; Wren and bassist Gary &amp;#039;Mani&amp;#039; Mounfield confirmed rumours of a comeback at a London press conference today.   Asked if the money had been a key factor in the reunion, Brown told Digital Spy: &amp;quot;The money&amp;#039;s always been on the table. &amp;quot;We could have took that money any time we wanted - every year, two, three times a year we&amp;#039;ve had offers, all the way down the line.&amp;quot; Of his comments in 2009 that Squire and Brown would set aside their differences should enough money be offered, Mani added: &amp;quot;That was me being flippant. It&amp;#039;s never been about the money. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve been out constantly on tour for 15 years since the Roses finished and I get stopped at every city of every country in the world every day and I&amp;#039;m asked by people, &amp;#039;Will it happen?&amp;#039; &amp;quot;People have got dreams that they want to see happen and it&amp;#039;d be nice to satisfy their dreams and get it done, cos I&amp;#039;m f**king sick of being asked that question and answering it. Simple as that!&amp;quot; &amp;gt; The Stone Roses confirm reunion: &amp;quot;This is a live resurrection&amp;quot; &amp;gt; The Stone Roses: What have they done since the split? Asked what had changed since his unambiguous Statement  that he would not &amp;quot;desecrate the grave&amp;quot; of the band, Squire said: &amp;quot;Everything changed when me and Ian started seeing each other again. &amp;quot;It was surreal, we went from crying, laughing about the old days to writing sounds in a hearbeat. I think in someways it&amp;#039;s a friendship that defines us both, and it needed fixing. So there is no grave.&amp;quot; Watch The Stone Roses&amp;#039; &amp;#039;I Wanna Be Adored&amp;#039; music video below:      Move through our Stone Roses gallery below: "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
