Personal Life and Legacy
During the 13-month recording process of The Stone Roses’ second album, Second Coming, at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales, Mani met Imelda, who later became his wife.
The couple had twin sons together.
Imelda passed away from cancer in November 2023, a devastating loss that profoundly affected Mani in the final years of his life.
Gary “Mani” Mounfield is remembered as a highly influential yet often underrated bassist, whose playing gave life and depth to one of the most important bands in British music history.
His legacy continues to live on through The Stone Roses’ timeless music and his lasting influence on future generations of musicians.***.
