The Stone Roses and Primal Scream bassist, Mani, has passed away at the age of 63. Tributes have been pouring in for the beloved musician.

The news was shared via Facebook by his brother, Greg. “It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to announce the sad passing of my brother Gary Mani Mounfield. RIP RKID,” he wrote online.

The death is unexpected, given that only last week, Mounfield had announced details of an in-conversation tour that was set to take him around the UK in 2026.

Tragically, in 2023, Mounfield’s wife, Imelda, died following a lengthy battle with bowel cancer. The couple had twins together who were born in 2013.

Mounfield joined The Stone Roses in 1987 and played on all of their recorded work. The iconic band made their comeback in 2012, and took to the stage again in 2016, during which they displayed their first new material in two decades. They played their final performance together in 2017.

Since news broke of his passing, tributes from far and wide across the music industry have been pouring in.
