Stone Roses' Ian Brown - Brush With Fame + BBC documentary

Ian Brown from the Stone Roses was born on February 20th - take a look at some video of the Stone Roses and Brown in action!

The first video is Brown's appearance on the docu-art series Brush With Fame, where he was captured sitting for a portrait by John Myatt (an artist who had his own brush of fame after being arrested and convicted for art fraud in the 90s). During the episode, Myatt painted a portrait of Brown, and while doing so, he interviewed Brown and discussed the history of the Stone Roses.
