Ian Brown is a highly influential artist who has made a profound impact on the music industry over the past two decades. His impressive list of followers includes iconic bands such as Oasis, The Verve, Blur, Kasabian, and Arctic Monkeys, among many others.
Ian's remarkable journey began in 1986 when he co-founded The Stone Roses alongside his close friends John Squire, Mani, and Reni. The band's big break came in 1989 with the release of their self-titled debut album, which catapulted them to fame.
The highly anticipated follow-up album, "Second Coming", was released in 1994, but unfortunately, it was met with instant criticism from the critics. In 1995, Reni's departure from the band led to John Squire's exit as well, as he went on to form The Seahorses. This significant change marked the beginning of the end for The Stone Roses.
Despite this setback, Ian and Mani continued to work together for a short period before Mani left the band in 1996 to join Primal Scream, effectively bringing The Stone Roses to a close.
In 1998, Ian Brown embarked on a successful solo career, releasing several albums and maintaining his momentum to this day. 2005 was a particularly notable year for Ian, as he released his Greatest Hits album and performed at numerous music festivals, including T in the park and Glastonbury.
Despite persistent rumors of a Stone Roses reunion, Ian Brown has consistently expressed his disinterest in reuniting with his former bandmates, citing their differing creative visions and personal differences.
