Ian Brown fans fuming at paying £40 to see star turn up without a band on opening night of tour

Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown stunned fans when he went out on stage for his first solo tour in 10 years without a live band. The Manchester music icon performed the first night of his new tour in Leeds on Sunday.

But fans were left open-mouthed when he came onto stage alone without the support of a live band, and sang to a backing track instead at the 02 Academy. The opening night show in Leeds had sold out after the singer had announced his new tour earlier this year.

Ian is due to perform in Glasgow tonight, before heading for a huge homecoming show at the 02 Victoria Warehouse on Friday night. But some fans felt the show was so bad they walked OUT of the Leeds concert.
