Ian Brown’s children make money by selling his autographed posters on the internet.

The former Stone Roses frontman - who has a nine-year-old son Emilio, with wife Fabiola Quiroz Brown and two older sons, Frankie and Casey, from a previous relationship - says his three kids have taken advantage of having a famous father.

He explained: “My kids have started selling posters of me on Ebay. They get me to sign them and then sell them online for £10.

“It saves me having to give them money!”

Ian recently visited Mick Jones’ Rock N Roll Public Library, which showcases the Clash rocker’s 30 years of memorabilia, and revealed it has inspired him to gather his own personal collection of musical artefacts.

The 46-year-old explained to music website The Quietus: “The exhibition is amazing. It’s really great. I should do something similar, I’ve got loads of Stone Roses stuff at home.”
