Two bands that arguably broke up before they reached their potential (or else just in time that they didn't get found out, depending your perspective...) have been in the news recently rumoured to be on the verge of reforming.
Firstly, The Daily Mirror reports that Manchester's Stone Roses are to reform for a summer tour and festival performances. The tabloid says the original members of the Manchester band will reunite for 21 UK gigs this summer.
Secondly, Pete Doherty said on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 evening show that he'd "love" The Libertines to reform. He went on to say that it was up to co-frontman Carl Barat to also get on board.
While every band who ever formed seems to have to reunite these days, both acts would certainly still command quite a crowd, and the money offered for these kind of reunions must be staggering.
Stone roses guitarist John Squire has denied these reports as being false, but who knows? The lure of the money and reclaiming your crown must eat away at you till you just cave in.
Either way, i wouldn't bet against either act coming back together someday...
