Heartbreaking ! I saw his birthday in the paper the other day and couldn't believe he was 63. What a sad loss.

[walshy]

Yeah gutted. Was just looking at his upcoming tour and was going to buy tickets. Sad and no age really. Some of his lines were majestic

Absolute bombshell.

Mani's one of the reasons I started playing Bass.

RIP Mani. Far too young. They were one of my fave bands during the Madchester years.

Awful news and unbelievably heartbreaking for his two young lads, who’ve lost both parents within a couple of years.

The Stone Roses were one of the most important bands of my life. I used to play along to Mani's bass lines in my childhood bedroom. 63 really isn't old. That's very sad.

[Bassman1974]

Gutted for his boys to lose both parents at such a young age. RIP Mani. Such a huge influence.

Is there a bass intro that moves people like this does ( no others I can think of) ...

I was looking at his tour as he was booked into a theatre near me. I was showing a work colleague about it only this morning. He will be missed, but we'll remembered.

Literally just saw this. Gutted. Probably the most quietly influential British bass player of the last 40 years.

 

There is no bass player in the UK of a certain age who didn't implicitly know the bass parts to Fool's Gold, She Bangs The Drums or Waterfall, or that bass break from I Am The Resurrection.

All four of the above will be getting blasted out on my Ric tonight. Albeit with way less finesse and talent than the man himself.

Our local arts centre was one of the venues he was coming to on his talk/tour he was going to do. I thought 'blimey, that's a big name to come to this little old town'.

 

I'm genuinely shocked.

[Judo Chop]

Very sad to hear that, he was one of the players that got me interested in learning how to play.

This one in particular always stood out to me. What an incredible player he was.

Fantastic bassist, some iconic riffs. She bangs the drum, immediately comes to mind. 

[danhkr]

One of my all-time faves and without doubt one of the good guys. RIP Mani 😔

Sad to hear this, RIP Mani and condolences to his family and friends. 

[KingPrawn]

My heart goes out to his 2 young lads. Their dad was an important player.
