The Stone Roses are to release their first new music in more than 20 years on Thursday evening.

A new single will be released at 8pm, the Manchester band revealed via their Twitter account.

Begging You from the album The Second Coming was the last new track the band released in October 1995.

They reformed in 2011 after splitting in 1996, making a triumphant return to Glasgow Green in June 2013.

The Stone Roses will play a series of gigs this summer, including a headlining spot at T in the Park four shows at the Etihad Stadium in their home city of Manchester.
