In memory of Stuart Cable

Thursday 22 July 2010

It was with heavy hearts that we all first heard the saddening news about the passing of Stuart Cable, founding member of Killing For Company, former drummer of the Stereophonics and tragically missed son, father, brother and band-mate.

To honour the life's-work of this talented and giving individual, on July 25th Stuart's current band members from rock group, Killing For Company, will be releasing a single dedicated to his memory. The proceeds from ‘Former Mining Town' will be donated towards the Teenage Cancer Trust and Ty Hafan, the family hospice for young lives.



Ty Hafan was fortunate enough to be well-supported by this extremely popular figure and he was always ready to help, not just Ty Hafan, but a number of other charities with their fundraising events.

His Killing For Company band members commented: “To think Stu won't be joining us on stage anymore is a hard thought to face and although his passing is tragic, we hope to draw some positive from this difficult time. As a band, we are honoured and privileged to have shared the experiences we've had with Stu.

“We will be releasing the single, ‘Former Mining Town', and dedicating it to Stuart. He was hugely proud of the album and this track in particular. All funds raised will be donated to Teenage Cancer Trust and Ty Hafan.

Not only have we lost a rock legend but also a best friend and the heart of our band. The stage will not be the same without him.”

Frank Ady from Ty Hafan added “Stuart was such a larger than life character and didn't hesitate whenever he was asked to help or support Ty Hafan in anyway. He will be missed by many, many people.”

‘Former Mining Town' was written and recorded by Killing For Company in 2009 and will be available for download only from July 25th 2010. Please visit the following link to download your copy - http://www.killingforcompany.com/stuart-cable .
