Not before 9T will I wear the hat 4 the Roses again
Posted: Tuesday 18th October 2011 at 15:21pm
Reni posted a cryptic message to NME over the weekend:
“Not before 9T will I wear the hat 4 the Roses again”
In the artwork for Heaton Park revealed today it looks like the 9T was possibly referring to the “29TH JUNE”
Update: the NME live blog are reporting that: "Ian and Mani did most of the talking. Reni chipped in and was wearing a 90th birthday badge, and whipped out a 9t birthday cake."
