Is Stone Roses third coming imminent ?




A spate of postering around Manchester has sparked speculation that The Stone Roses may be about to resurface after 2012's triumphant comeback.
The Madchester legends have been trending on Twitter all day , as posters emblazoned with the bands iconic lemon have been plastered all over Manchester.




Speculation is rife that a third studio album may finally appear , some 22 years after The Second Coming.
During their 2012 live dates , there was no new material aired or hinted at. The other rumour is that The Stone Roses will take to the Pyramid Stage next June to headline Glastonbury.


Whatever the reason for the sudden appearance of lemon posters , fans are now firmly perched for an announcement of some sort from the band.
