Mike Prior, Redferns

The long-awaited Stone Roses reunion is still months away, but Friday night (Dec. 2), one-half of the legendary British band shared the stage for the first time in 16 years.

Performing in their hometown of Manchester, England, at a benefit for former Clash guitarist Mick Jones' Hillsborough Justice Campaign, singer Ian Brown and guitarist John Squire teamed up for the Roses' classic 'Elizabeth My Dear.'

Alongside Jones, they also offered up covers of 'Bankrobber' and 'Armagideon Time,' two of the Clash's choicest reggae tunes.
