I know it's just an expression and all, but if you know your mate has struggled with alcohol, perhaps "going out for a pint" isn't the best way to celebrate his birthday. Geez. .

That sucks. I didn't like the Stereophonics but anytime someone dies this young and this tragically it blows. .

. And only recently the Beebs has shown a doc on rock drummers featuring the untimely deaths of John Bonham and Keith Moon. So unfortunately Stuart's in good company.

Apparently the all-day drinking binge is a very bad idea after age 39 or so.

The Stereophonics are a local band for me. I'm not really a fan of their music, but I saw them play in Swansea in front of 50,000 people in 1999. They put on a good show. .

A friend said: "We've been told that he choked on his own vomit and that is what killed him. It is tragic but Stuart was a real party animal and loved the rock'n'roll lifestyle. It was how he would have wanted to go." Well there's that I guess. .

Well, I'm playing "Performance and Cocktails" in memory, for what it's worth. (Note to self: If you ever make it big as part of a band, make sure you aren't the drummer.)

Houses of the Holy Was a really bitchin' album Bonzo kicks ass on it And then he chokes on his vomit The way a rock star's s'posed to die The way a rock star's s'posed to die The way a rock star's s'posed to die --The Rugburns, "Me and Eddie Vedder" yes, I know, not directly after Houses of the Holy .

From having been sick from alcohol at various times in my past, I imagine dying that way is extremely unpleasant. Poor man. Note to self: watch alcohol intake. .

I've woken up from benders with puke "sprays" drying on my bedsheets. If you're gonna pass out drunk, sleep on your side or your stomach. RIP

Ten years on and off the road (bass) and this was the story with practically every drummer. Was all I could do to avoid second-hand vomit. .

Did he choke on someone else's vomit?
