The music world mourns the loss of Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield, the bassist for The Stone Roses, who passed away at the age of 63. His brother, Greg, announced the news on Facebook, expressing his deep sorrow and mentioning that Mani had reunited with his beloved wife, Imelda. The tragic event occurred at Mani’s home in Heaton Moor, Stockport, following a seizure and an ambulance call. The Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, were reportedly informed of the passing just hours before the public announcement, leaving them heartbroken. This loss comes as a double blow, as Imelda, Mani’s wife, had passed away from cancer just two years prior. Imelda, a mother of twin sons, had been diagnosed with bowel cancer three years ago and had been actively raising funds for charity by organizing auctions of items from David Beckham and Oasis. Mani’s recent announcement of an intimate conversation tour, scheduled to take place between September 2026 and June 2027, has been postponed indefinitely. The tour was set to reflect on his experiences, including iconic moments like the 1990 Spike Island gig and the Stone Roses’ comeback stadium tour. Tributes have poured in from fans and fellow musicians, highlighting Mani’s impact on the Manchester music scene and his status as one of the greats. His passing has left a void in the music industry, with many expressing their shock and sadness, and fans and colleagues alike paying their respects.
