On a sadder note, news reports have came in that Stuart Cable (former Stereophonics drummer & Radio Wales host) has died. Not only did Stuart interview Sharon on Radio Wales (as evidenced in a v-log clip) but he also played as a guest on her album.

Sharon has posted the following on her site with regards to the passing of Stuart Cable

"I just cannot believe the sad, tragic news about the death of Stuart Cable. What a great guy he was. A fun loving guy. A rockin’ good drummer and the life and soul of the studio when we worked together.

I first met Stuart last summer doing promotion for Its Not A Dream at BBC Wales. He was such fun to be around and I am so glad that I got the chance to work with him when later in the year I asked him to come to Dublin to drum on ‘So Long Ago.’ We had such a lovely time. I expected and really looked forward to seeing him this year.

My heart goes out to Rachel, his mother Mabel, and all his family and friends.

Rest in peace, Stuart.

We can only hope that the track proves to be a fitting tribute to the collaboration of Sharon & Stuart. Thoughts are with his family & those who were close to him.

Sharon has also tweeted (

) her support of a charity single that is being released in honour of Stuart Cable.

The Official Stuart Cable Memorial Single, "Former Mining Town", by Killing For Company will be released on 25th July 2010 (see story HERE). Proceeds from the single will benefit the Teenage Cancer Trust and Ty Hafan, a hospice for young people.

On a similar charitable note, it would appear that Sharon is continuing with her involvement in major charitable endeavours. Her sadly mistreated HIN posted the following Tweet:

"In Spain. Hot, and that's just @sharon-corr. On our way to record a piece for Barnardo's children charity for @hellenbach!"

Sounds good!

And on Sunday, Sharon tweeted:

Yeah, I purchased the single - not sure how much it'll help considering it's a US purchase - but I haven't listened to it yet.
