After John Squire left, it was a possibility... http://contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/stone roses turned down slash_11_05_2006
If there were a plane or bus accident, the toxicity reports at autopsy would have somehow managed to be even higher for the group. Oh, crap, I honestly misread the thread as "Rolling Stones".
wow. as a fan of the Roses for almost 20 years I have to say I've read alot of crazy shite about the band but this takes it all. The fact that Ian thinks now that it would have been amazing is even more ludicrous. Reni was the soul of the band, until he comes back it won't be anywhere near amazing.
I always thought it would be fun if Rose Stone joined the Stone Roses myself... she is kinda old for them though....
