E’ stato ritrovato morto nella sua casa nel sud del Galles Stuart Cable , batterista degli Stereophonics fino al 2003, attualmente impegnato il sabato alla BBC Radio Wales. La polizia, intervenuta a Llwydcoed vicino Aberdare (Cynon Valley), ancora deve chiarire le cause della morte ( “Cause of death has not yet been established, however, there are no suspicious circumstances at this stage.” ). 40 anni, aveva formato gli Stereohpnics nel 1992 assieme a Kelly e Richard Jones più giovani di lui di quattro anni. Dopo lo split con la band madre aveva messo in piedi i Killing For Company .

Mike Peters degli Alarm : “He was supposed to be joining us for Rhondda Rocks. I will remember him as someone who was so alive - I can’t believe he’s gone. I don’t know what the circumstances are but it’s a real tragedy. He was always smiling and laughing and great to be around. He had lots of energy and couldn’t wait for the next day to come around. He was a larger than life character who seemed to be a driving force behind the personality of the Stereophonics” .

Cerys Matthews : “He was always such generous company and will be missed terribly. My love goes to his family.”

Iwan Griffiths (The Automatic) : “He was one of the few really genuine people you meet in the music industry when he said he’d come down to a gig he would, and be one of the most enthusiastic people there, which to a bunch of 18-year-olds meant the world.”
