The Stone Roses released their second album, Second Coming, in 1994, which received mixed reviews. The group soon disbanded after several line-up changes throughout the supporting tour, which began with Reni departing in early 1995, followed by Squire in April 1996. Brown and Mani dissolved the remains of the group in October 1996 following their appearance at Reading Festival.
Following much intensified media speculation, the Stone Roses called a press conference on 18 October 2011 to announce that the band had reunited and would perform a reunion world tour in 2012, including three homecoming shows in Heaton Park, Manchester. Plans to record a third album in the future were also floated but only two singles were released. In June 2012, Chris Coghill, the writer of a new film which is set during the Stone Roses 1990 Spike Island show, revealed that the band "have at least three or four new tracks recorded". In June 2013, a documentary about the band's reformation directed by Shane Meadows and titled The Stone Roses: Made of Stone was released.
In 2016, the Stone Roses released their first new material in two decades. The band members continued to tour until June 2017, at which point cryptic remarks by Brown indicated the band had split again, which was later confirmed in a 2019 interview with Squire.

Sally Cinnamon
The Stone Roses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I needed so much more
Rain clouds
Oh, they used to chase me
Down they would pour
Join my tears
Allay my fears
Sally Cinnamon you're my world
Pop, pop, pop, pop
Blow, blow bubble gum
You taste of cherryade
There is something here you must show me
From what you are made
Sugar and spice
And all things nice
Sent to me from heaven
Sally Cinnamon you're my world
You are my world
Your eyes are gazing back
From every little piece of glass
You seem to smile from every blade
Sally Cinnamon
You are my world
Then I put the letter back
In the place where it was found
In the pocket of a jacket
On a train in town
Sent to her from heaven
Sally Cinnamon you're her world
