Stereophonics' Kelly Jones says he still dreams about late band mate Stuart Cable 'at least five times a week'

Kelly Jones has spoken about his former bandmate, and lifelong friend, the late Stuart Cable in a new podcast in aid of a mental health charity for musicians, revealing he dreams of his friend "at least five times a week".

The pair formed the 'Phonics and various other iterations of their band with Richard Jones in Cwmaman in the Cynon Valley during the late 1980s and found fame in the mid-1990s with their debut album, Word Gets Around, released in 1997. He told the Help Musicians podcast, hosted by Squeeze's Chris Difford, that Stuart was "like a big brother" to him after the host asked did he "take Stuart on stage with him?"

"Stuart turns up in my dreams," Kelly confessed, saying it was "intense" when the drummer died. "At least five times a week. It's bizarre. Still to this day yeah it's quite strange. I lived in number 54 he lived in 62, we lived on the same street all our lives.
