FORMER Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable has spoken about how the death of a close friend inspired him to join the Organ Donor Register.

The musician revealed that his friend Michael Headford had donated his organs following his sudden death a year ago.

Cable is one of a number of Welsh celebrities, including rugby ace James Hook, to feature in a unique campaign to encourage people to sign up as organ donors and talk to their families about their wishes.

Donate Wales – Tell A Loved One was launched earlier this month and is the first Welsh campaign of its kind. It is being supported by a series of television adverts featuring celebrities.
