From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steve 'Stove' King (born 8 January 1974 in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire) is an English bass player and was previously a member of the rock band Mansun.
King formed Mansun with Paul Draper. Having not picked up an instrument prior to the formation of Mansun, King went on to become a solid bass player and a pivotal member of Mansun, especially when it came to promoting the band and at one point, he had an answerphone installed in his house to update fans on news and also receive messages from them.
King departed the band after several recording sessions for Kleptomania leaving many unconfirmed rumours as to why he left. The bassist's departure was not publicised nor commented upon, but eventually came to light months after the band's demise.
