The Stone Roses have confirmed that their European tour will continue despite ending their gig prematurely last night (June 12).The Madchester band's drummer Reni left the Amsterdam venue, with footage confirming reports that frontman Ian Brown called him a "c**t" from the stage.
However, playing down rumours of disunity, a spokeswoman told Sky News: "The band didn't play an encore - which is quite normal for them.
"And they had already played their full planned set so no-one walked off before the end. All tour dates continue as planned."

Reni was the first Stone Roses member to quit the band in 1995.
The Roses would have finished the gig with debut album classic 'I Am the Resurrection'.

Ian Brown did tell the crowd they'd have to shout loudly for an encore as their backstage area was 4 storeys up, that's why they waited. They must have intended to come back on or they could have just had the lights put on and everyone would have left. But whatever! I'm just pleased they're back!
