The UK's Daily Mirror reported on 17 March 2009 that "sources" had confirmed that the band was to reform in 2009 for a 21-date tour. The report was given sufficient credence to be repeated on the New Musical Express's website.[26] To date, however, no official announcement has materialised, and John Squire and Ian Brown have both denied the claim. On 19 March 2009, it was reported that John Squire had created a piece of artwork depicting his less than positive views of the band reforming. The piece read "I have no desire whatsoever to desecrate the grave of seminal Manchester pop group The Stone Roses 18.3.09", which strongly indicated that rumours of the band reforming were highly unlikely.
In an interview on the BBC's Newsnight, Squire stated that he thought the reunion of the band would never happen even if Ian Brown and he were still on speaking terms. He stated that he would refuse, not being interested in reforming the band. He said that he would be dedicating himself to his visual art work and that "music is a young man's game".
On 9 June 2009 bassist Mani stated that the band would reform if they were offered enough money, but admitted that he's "very nearly given up" on trying to orchestrate a reunion[27] and two months later told BBC Newsbeat how Ian Brown "isn't up for it at all".[28]
In the September issue of Q Magazine, in which he spoke about his new album, My Way, Ian Brown revealed that he would be up for a reunion, but only for charity. He said that he would donate the proceeds to youth clubs. However he also said that this would only happen if the other band members were to agree to do the same.
On 28 September 2009 when Ian Brown was interviewed on Nation Radio, he was asked if the Stone Roses would ever play together again. Ian replied "The chances are slim and slim's out of town".
