The band have refused to comment on the rumours, according to the NME.

The Stone Roses are set to announce that they have split up for the second time.

A post on the band’s dedicated forum, I Am Without Shoes Too, appeared via the band’s biographer John Robb’s Louder Than War site.

The post, by ‘HerringBone,’ stated: “Just had word from a friend who works at Universal Records and announcement will be made next week regarding the bands (sic) future.

“Says the band’s representatives and Universal’s are working on ending the contract and the guys going their separate ways.

“According to a band source after all the gigs were finished trying to recreate magic between four very different entities as compared to their earlier incarnation just didn’t work. The usual obligatory band statement will conclude with them all remaining good friends and ending for good The Stone Roses.”

A spokesperson for the band, which reformed in 2011 after 15 years apart, simply said: “No comment.”
