ENGLAND SWINGS: Stone Roses drummer and co-founder...

ENGLAND SWINGS: Stone Roses drummer and co-founder Alan (Reni) Wren has left the band over what a source close to the band describes as “personal problems.”

Though he had made similar moves in the past, the band always welcomed him back, the source said. This time, however, the band accepted the resignation and quickly named a replacement: Robbie Maddix, a Manchester musician who has played with Terence Trent D’Arby, among others.

Meanwhile, the Stone Roses and U.S. manager Doug Goldstein have ended their brief association. Steve Atherton, the group’s former tour manager, will apparently assume managerial duties.
