The Stone Roses bassist Mani has confessed that he did not realise his tour advance payment would be so big.
The star revealed that he went to a cashpoint to withdraw money for food shopping only to discover that £2 million had been deposited into his account, reports The Sun.
Mani told his friends back home in Stockport: "It's madness. I only went out to buy milk and things. I went to the cashpoint and someone has stuck nearly £2 million in while I wasn't looking.
"The whole world's gone crazy. I could have fallen over backwards when I saw the balance."
The band were aware that they would receive an advance from the high sales of their reunion tour and festival dates, but did not know it would be as much as they have been given.
The Stone Roses have signed two record deals ahead of their reunion shows.
Universal Records have signed the band in the UK and worldwide, while Columbia, owned by Sony, have contracted the band in the US.
Ian Brown revealed that The Stone Roses have recorded new songs during rehearsals for their live shows.
The move is set to make the band millions, after Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani and Reni announced details of three homecoming shows at Manchester's Heaton Park in June. The band will play Dublin’s Phoenix Park on 5 July.
