Kelly Jones of Stereophonics tells us his shock, when he discovered Stuart Cable had died on the day of his great uncle's funeral. BBC News, Cwmaman Wales. 7th June 2010.
I cant believe how heartless the media people can be! This guy is obviously gonna be in bits about his friend! He is alot more compose than i'd be, fair play to him!
I think that the guy handled this difficult interview, with the greatest composure. To be battered with questions when you aren't as robust as you could be, is a nightmare. All bands have their "in's and out's" It's like being in a family. Mr Jones should be lauded for his honesty.
He’s such a polite guy, I wouldn’t want to be talking to them after such a short time of finding out something so tragic but you’d of never know by how graceful Kelly was, shows I think what a decent and natural human he is, RIP Stuart such a shame. One of the greatest rock bands of my generation and so down to earth, there’s a certain recipe to greatness and these guys have and had it in spades!
from the same town as me, my grandmother and his mother, Mable, are good friends... met him a few times, one of the most extravagant people i've ever met
Was quite shocked really. I am a fan and I visit the Stereophonics site everyday. And to see Stuart Cable's picture with the heading 'In Loving Memory' was really weird. RIP Stuart, you will be greatly missed!
Watching this 13 1/2 years later…..same as my daughters age. I know this as Stuart died the day she was born. In fact whilst my wife was pregnant we met Kelly Jones at an album signing and watched them play at the castle in 2009.
As someone who lost two best friends and long term band members in the weirdest, most screwed up way imaginable, i can imagine the multitude of feelings running through his mind, especially as they were famous, that's a whole different set of problems etc. Terrible timing on the reporters part, let him make his statement and go on his way, not the time to be hashing up the band's break up. At least he enjoyed his life to max rather than reaching 90 working in the local pound shop.
tribute to Kel being so composed... What a horrible day, lost two people closest to him. Media are skum, but if they weren't there we wouldn't know how nice this guy is i guess... Horrible thing to have to go through though, sorry bud!

This is the first time I saw this interview and I can see the anguish on Kelly's face. Not a day one wants to remember fer sure.
