Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder has called for a statue in Manchester to honour late Stone Roses legend Mani.
The 63-year-old singer was close friends with Mani and he has called on the Major of Manchester Andy Burnham to create a permanent tribute to the bass player as well as other music icons from the city in North West England, such as late Factory Records boss Tony Wilson and The Smiths bassist Andy Rourke, who passed away in May 2023 aged 59.
