The band's first live show with Wren occurred at an anti-heroin gig in London, which was being hosted by Pete Townshend. This unexpected encounter concluded with The Who star asking the band whether he could use their drummer for his set - the band agreed, which led to Wren performing Pictures of Lily and other Who songs. [10] Silvertone disputed this and claimed that they just wanted to see the band make another record. However, the Roses' solicitor, John Kennedy, said that the band had signed "Undoubtedly one of the worst contracts I'd ever seen". Johnson, Johnny (February 1995). "Coming Out". Vox. pp.14–19.

A typical example is the Spike Island press conference in 1990, which was attended by much of the world's music press. This ended in chaos when the gathered journalists began a small riot, believing the band to be deliberately upsetting them.Thank god for œLove Spreads’- the zig zag wanderer and another of The Roses total classics and as good as anything they ever wrote.

Retrieved 24 November 2011. In 1995, Wren was the first member of the classic Stone Roses line-up to leave the band, with much mystery surrounding his exit. In Simon Spence's The Stone Roses: War and Peace (2012), it was suggested arguments with Brown and frustration with Squire's increasingly insular musical direction angered the drummer. Wren began missing recording sessions to spend time with his young family and often arrived in a dressing gown to the sessions he did attend. A statement was published in NME on 5 April 1995, announcing his immediate departure. After his exit, the band continued with Robbie Maddix as drummer, but broke up in 1996. When it was finally released on December 5, 1994, Second Coming was destined to be Stone Roses’ final effort, ending a short-lived but once promising career. Brown and Squire would achieve some measure of success on their own and a six year Stone Roses reunion from 2011 until 2017 produced some possibility of reclaiming former glories. Nevertheless, the group’s legacy still boils down to the two albums released early on.
