Stone Roses provide finale for charity gig

Ian Brown and Mani have provided the finale for a charity gig in Manchester to raise awareness for cancer.

The ex-Stone Roses members were joined on stage by The Smith's bassist Andy Rourke and New Order's Peter Hook to perform 'I Am The Resurrection'.

The Manchester versus Cancer event was held to raise money for the cancer hospital Christies and also saw appearances by Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher, Echo & The Bunnymen and Paul Weller.

Organiser Andy Rourke told the NME, "Everyone knows someone who's been hit by it [cancer].

"Three of my relatives died of it this year so it's a great opportunity tonight to get up and raise money to beat it...we just want to raise as much as we can so they can kick the disease up the arse."
