Trying to access the homepage of www.stereophonics.com but all I see is "in loving memory". I suppose that it's for Stuart. All my respect of course, but how can I access the page with news, tour dates etc. The direct link to this message board is for example: www.stereophonics.com/board
But what's the direct link to the home page? I have to say that I'm visually impaired and probably I have to click on a graphical item at the "in loving memory page" to get access to the "normal" site. But I don't use a mouse, so can't click on that item. So only the direct link will be a solution for me I think... Thank's in advance. |

I have been very grateful that the board has stayed "up." Thank you to whoever kept us going!  |

| Oh so nothing wrong with my equipment, thank's for the reply. I think such messages such as "in memory" can stay there for a few days but not for a few weeks. All my respect for co-founder Stuart, but he already left the band for years. People would still like to know which dates they play and also the latest news I think. Life goes on. |

Hey Steven,
The funeral was two days ago so it is all still fresh (not sure how to say it), be patient with respect. I am sure it will return a.s.a.p. sure if they have news to report...
So are you going to rockwerchter? I will be there  |

I'm starting to lose hope of any US dates, especially with Stuart's death.
I could have sworn they had some dates already setup elsewhere in October. This leaves September for US dates, or which none have been announced yet.
Errrrrr!
That is why I hate the site being dormant. I understand the respect thing for Stuart, I really do. But it is starting to sound like there won't be any US dates unless they announce them pretty soon.
Only hope is that I do recall 2 years ago, they announced the dates in early June. So we are just past that. If we go a few more weeks, I don't know what to think. |

I thought I remembered they announced the dates early August 2008
I am also getting anxious waiting for the US tour announcement but it should happen before the possible festivals in Argentina and Brazil in November. |

Thank's for the tour dates and links. Didn't know the "tribute" was still a few days ago, however that message is already on the site for a few weeks. Yes Jacqueline, I go to Rock Werchter of course. Still have to find a ticket.  |

OK, I searched the site and we are both way off. July 15, 2008 is when they were announced. So we have some time! Lets hope they have a more extensive tour as well, although I have heard zero KCACO on the radio here, even though it is an official US release. But, at least I did see a review in the local newspaper (San Diego) when it was released, even if it was about 3 sentences long. |

Mid July!!! Wow that I know this, I am going to get even more impatient lol I was ready to wait until August! I haven't seen any reviews either just online. And yes I hope there will be more dates than 2008 otherwise it's going to be chaos for me to try to go to as much dates as I can in a very short period of time  |

The site has been taken down as a mark of respect for not only a founding band member but a lifelong friend of Kelly and Rich's, as well as I would assume a good friend still to many of the band, management and road crew etc. He passed 2 weeks ago and his funeral was only the other day so be patient and give them a bit more time to grieve.
Most of us can only imagine the pain they are feeling at losing someone so close to them. You cant put a time frame on someone else's grief, we all deal in different ways, some will take longer than others. In the meantime try to use other means to find out the bands info.
