Shirley this is bollocks? What was it Ian Brown was saying in that interview Mike Diver posted 10 days ago?

"So aside from any random, fantastical, Led Zeppelin one offs do you…
I’d need to be down to my last chicken dinner, seriously. Every single act that’s reformed has done it for the money, I don’t think there’s anyone who’s done it for expression, artistic expression, or this burning desire to create more music or… I think it’s about money. I could always ring Mani and say: “Let’s get the band back together.” But if I said let’s do it and give the money to kids’ charities, would he still want to do it? I don’t think they would.

"So, could you see yourself sending John a packet of Maltesers in the future?
I haven’t spoken to him since the phone call when he left the band in ‘96."
