Rob died in monmouth in 1996 driving home from the pub (without his seatbelt on, having been drinking. Got thrown though the sun roof - he was in one car with someone else and was racing the rest of the band in another car back to the studios, clipped a kerb on a corner and if he had his belt on he would've lived). What you'd thinking of is when he went to prison for being the "getaway driver" of an armed robbery a few years earlier, claimed that he genuinely didn't know what his mate was about to do.
My sister was a huge fan back then, that's why i know this stuff (it sinks in whether you want it to or not!). He died while we were on holiday, she'd met them a lot and was devastated. All my mum could do was say as my sister moped around was how it's ruined her holiday (familes eh).
The rag guitarist is Mark Collins, joined after the first album after they stitched up Jon Baker the original guiatr player. And the nice one Jon Brookes died of cancer a couple of years ago :(
Their manager of the time was a huge blue, Steve Harrison.
