As previously reported on this blog, Stuart Cable's former bandmates are releasing their tribute single to the late sticksman today.

Former Mining Town is available through all the usual digital outlets and is in aid of Stuart's favourite charities, The Teenage Cancer Trust and Ty Hafan Children's Hospital.

Killing For Company said when the single was announced, "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.

"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."
