Ex-Stereophonics drummer found dead
Former Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable has been found dead at his home.
South Wales Police confirmed that a 40-year-old man was discovered at an address in Aberdare early on Monday morning. The death is not being treated as suspicious.
A police spokeswoman said on Monday: "South Wales Police can confirm the sudden death of a 40-year-old man at an address in Llwydcoed, Aberdare, at around 5.30am today. Cause of death has not yet been established, however, there are no suspicious circumstances at this stage. Next of kin have been informed."
Among those paying tribute to the musician this morning was Chris Moyles, who said he was "very shocked" to hear the news of his death. "He was always lovely when we met. Love to his family and friends. RIP," he said on his Twitter feed.
Rob Brydon also spoke of his sadness today. The Gavin And Stacey star had been to see Stereophonics at the weekend. "Terribly sad news about Stuart Cable, such a lovely, warm, funny, talented man," he said.
Stuart was sacked from Stereophonics in September 2003 because of "commitment" issues following the release of the band's third LP. He was thought to be devoting too much time to his blossoming media career.
Stuart had formed a new band Killing For Company and was due to play the Download Festival at Donington Park on Saturday. Festival promoter Andy Copping said: "Stuart was a great character, as well as a good friend, and well-loved in the rock music scene and will be sorely missed."
The band had also filmed a part in the Mackenzie Crook film Abraham's Point, for which they also contributed to the soundtrack.
