Stuart Cable A 40-year-old man has been found dead at the home of musician Stuart Cable

 

A 40-year-old man - believed to be ex-Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable - has been found dead at his home.

 

Emergency services attended Mr Cable's house at Llwydcoed near Aberdare, Cynon Valley, at 0500 BST on Monday.

 

South Wales Police said the cause of death had not been established but there were no suspicious circumstances at this stage.

 

Mr Cable, who left the Stereophonics in 2003, had hosted his rock show on BBC Radio Wales on Saturday.

 

He had formed a new band called Killing for Company, who were due to play at Donington Park on Saturday.

 

The band's new album is due for release shortly.

 

His former band Stereophonics played at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday.

 

Stereophonics were formed in Cwmaman near Aberdare in 1992 by school friends Kelly and Richard Jones along with Cable, who was four years older.

 

Within five years they were rising stars, supporting bands such as the Rolling Stones and U2

 

Cable has said he was planning to leave the band before he was sacked in September 2003.

 

He had said he had no regrets about leaving the band.

RIP

 

Loved the first two albums but the rest were stale - saw them when they were just breaking at an NME tour the night we played Stevenage - a good end to a shit day.

 

Always thought it was harsh they sacked him and when I saw the headline thought it would be a leftover depression job from that but the new band thing suggests something else.

Weird when I think about it - I went to see the Phonics supported by Feeder and both their original drummers (who played that show) have died in what I presume to be similar circumstances.

The curse of Tom imo.

Aye, their first 2 albums were quality and then Jones started making it his own and changing the direction. Went downhill imo as they lost their edge. IIRC it was that which lead to Cable leaving. He wanted to keep it harder and Jones didn't & with Jones being the main contributor - he won.

 

RIP. By all accounts he was a sound bloke and a canny drummer (his hero was John Bonham IIRC).
