'Me and Stuart were like two cats in a bag' says Stereophonics' Kelly Jones as he opens up on powerful friendship with bandmate
'Me and Stuart were like two cats in a bag' says Stereophonics' Kelly Jones as he opens up on powerful friendship with bandmate The Cynon Valley-founded band release their 13th album on April 25, and Make 'em Laugh, Make 'em Cry, Make 'em Wait ahead of two huge homecoming shows at the Principality Stadium Kelly Jones has spoken to WalesOnline as Stereophonics' 13th album is released (Image: James D Kelly ) Stereophonics have released their new album and singer Kelly Jones has said he thinks the record 'ticks a lot of boxes' for longtime and newer fans of the Cynon Valley-founded band. Speaking to WalesOnline ahead of its release on Friday, April 25, the 50-year-old singer also opened up about his everlasting friendship with bandmate, and fellow Cwmaman native, Richard Jones - who joined him and other founder member, Stuart Cable, back in the mid-1990s. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here . "I just wanted to make a record that was like a classic Stereophonics album, but in an album of us in 2025," he said of Make 'em Laugh, Make 'em Cry, Make 'em Wait, the new album with a name inspired by Kelly's former art school teacher in Pontypridd. Article continues below "There are elements of all of our styles within it, but I'm talking about where I'm at in my life right now," he continued. "But I think if you're a Stereophonics fan from the beginning to now, it ticks a lot of boxes. It got a lot of anthemic stuff and it's got a very melodic stuff." Kelly and Richard with fellow band members, Adam Zindani and Jamie Morrison (Image: James D Kelly ) Together as best mates since they were three-years-old, Kelly and Richard's friendship is the backbone of the band and the ever-so-slightly younger Jones paid a heartfelt tribute to the bassist who isn't related to him, but you feel they might as well be. "He's like John Wayne, you know, he's the kind of bed that I lie on, you know?" said Kelly, who was born in the same hospital and went to the same school as his bandmate. "He's the rock in the band and always has been. Me and Stuart used to be like two cats in a bag and he'd be the one telling us to shut up. When I was younger and mouthing off it was probably because I had him in the background. "I don't ever want to do anything without Richard, even if I want to do other things, and it's called something different. I still want him to be there with me. He's a true friend and he's a brother, really. "So, yeah, he is a constant, and I love having him around. And he's always known what to do and what not to do." The trio became the Stereophonics back in the mid-1990s after years of rehearsing and a few different monikars - they signed with Richard Branson's V2 label in 1996 before bringing out debut record, Word Gets Around in 1997. The band continued as an outfit following the departure of drummer Stuart Cable in 2003. Cable later died at the age of 40, in 2010. The band have had eight number one albums and hope Make 'em Laugh, Make 'em Cry, Make 'em Wait will be the ninth. Read our full interview with Kelly in Western Mail Saturday Magazine and on WalesOnline this Saturday. Make 'em Laugh, Make 'em Cry, Make 'em Wait is out April 25 via EMI. The band play the Principality Stadium on July 11 and 12. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here . Article continues below
