The Stone Roses’ Ian Brown was a disappointment when he performed at the O2 Academy in Leeds on September 25. The singer used recorded tracks to complete his commitment and it marked the end of a disappointing situation. Fans in the arena shared their thoughts about this situation and not all of them are good, or rather none of them are good.
One user said, ‘Gutted to see Ian Brown turn up to his £40 a ticket, sold out gig at Leeds tonight WITH NO BAND. I’m a lifelong fan but it was bad. Ian Brown does karaoke and butchers his own tunes. Most were too pissed to care but I had to get out after this one.’

Another one noted, ’50 quid to see Ian brown off his head doing karaoke like he’s in Neptune’s bar. Anyone who has Ian Brown tickets for the tour, sell them now. Talk about desecrating the memory of the Stone Roses – he’s just done it one evening.’

A user had some kind words to say about Ian Brown and the event. He said, ‘Saw Ian Brown in Leeds last night. If you are a fan of Ian Brown’s solo stuff and you have tickets for his tour, you’ll love it but don’t go expecting Stone Roses songs or a backing band as he has neither. Decent night though.’

Users had mixed reactions and some said, ‘I thought I’d seen it all….but this Ian Brown stuff is soooooo sad. I’d be angry if I’d forked out good money to watch him walk back n forth alone on stage to a backing track. From this far away, I just feel sorry for him. And all the punters who turned up in Leeds.’
