Ian Brown will be honoured by the music production school, SSR, as they launch a scholarship in his name. 

The £10,000 Ian Brown scholarship will be awarded to one student who shows creative and ambitious promise, and the prize itself has been launched to celebrate the opening of SSR's Camden campus. 

The former Stone Roses frontman used to be involved with the institute when it was called 'Spirit Studios' and said of the news:

"It is an honour for me to be supporting SSR London and the next generation of talented producers and engineers being taught there. I have a long history with SSR from the early days recording with the Stone Roses and I hope the scholarship inspires the next generation of talented producers and artists."
