The Stone Roses bassist is on banana diet

The Stone Roses bassist Mani said that starting from this week he is on banana diet to make himself fit for the band's reunion tour. According to his words, he is eating twelve bananas every day and believes that it will make him prepared for intense concert schedule.

"I'd forgotten how good they taste. They're brilliant. I hope they'll do the trick and get the old fitness levels sorted for me. The moment I heard we'd sold 225,000 tickets in an hour I thought: "Bloody hell, I'd better get myself sorted for this one". I must be in fit", claimed he.

The Stone Roses formed in 1983 and released only two albums – The Stone Roses (1989) and Second Coming (1994). They split-up in 1996 with no explanation given. Last week the band announced its reunion.
