Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham made an emotional speech paying tribute to the Stone Roses as he attended a huge fundraiser organised by the Manchester band's legendary bass player Mani and wife Imelda. Andy was a guest at the event attended by over 700 people on Friday night in Manchester.
The event was organised to raise money for The Christie hospital and Stockport NHS Charity after Imelda's diagnosis with bowel cancer two years ago.
GM mayor Andy introduced the night with his heart-felt speech in which he outlined just how significant the Stone Roses had been in his life.
