Brad Pitt asks for tickets for Stone Roses reunion gigs

Hollywood superstar wants to catch Ian Brown and co this June

Brad Pitt has requested tickets to watch The Stone Roses‘ UK reunion shows this summer, according to reports.

The Hollywood A-lister is a big fan of the Madchester legends, says a source close to the actor, and has requested four tickets to see the band play at Manchester Heaton Park this summer while his wife, Angelina Jolie, is filming a new movie.

They told the Sun:

Brad’s a big fan of the band and will be at a loose end while Angelina is filming in the UK. He’s asked for four tickets and think it will be the ideal way to spend a June weekend.
