The four-piece will make millions from the deals, on top of the huge amounts generated by their live shows next summer.

Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani and Reni are playing three nights at Manchester’s Heaton Park in June, with further shows planned at festivals including V, T In The Park and Spain’s Benicassim.
