The Brits Awards' In Memoriam segment, a tribute to the late Gary 'Mani' Mounfield, sparked mixed reactions among fans. While some praised the heartfelt tribute led by Tim Burgess, others criticized the segment's layout, which scattered names across the screen, resembling an ad break. The Stone Roses, in a statement, honored Mani as 'the greatest' bass player and friend, a sentiment echoed by Tim, who described him as a 'pathfinder' and 'older brother.' Despite the mixed reactions, the segment highlighted Mani's impact on music and his legacy through his recorded songs. The article also mentions Mani's planned tour, 'The Stone Roses, Primal Scream, and Me - An Intimate Evening with Gary 'Mani' Mounfield,' which was set to commence in late 2026 and early 2027, before his untimely death.
