Shane Meadows has revealed that his Stone Roses reunion movie will make up for missing a gig.
The This Is England director explained that he deeply regretted not seeing the Madchester band at Spike Island in 1990.
Aged just 17 at the time, the filmmaker claimed that his absence from the show was due to being too high on drugs.
Meadows, now 38, told The Sun: "I missed the famous Spike Island gig because I had a bad acid trip. You had to be there.
"I wouldn't have cared if they'd come and smacked me with a sandwich, I just wanted to be there and I missed it, so this is me going back to Spike Island but at about 40 and with no hair."
