Mr. Smee, it's hard to imagine the future of this legendary band without you pounding out the life-blood rhythms that have sustained these songs for so many years. But as one of the d:tunes says, "All we need is fire and the cloud." Go wherever the glory cloud leads, mate, and the fire is sure to stay kindled. Thou hast rocked thus far, and thou shalt continue to rock. Shalom. Joshua "Bean" Clayton - Baton Rouge, LA

I respect your choice to put family first. Good job! You should know that your influence on me and I'm sure many others is huge. I mean in my teen years I've almost exclusively listened to Delirious?. It just won't be the same without you... Must be really weird for you to go to a Cutting Edge concert after you stopped... Pieter-Bart van Splunter - Netherlands

Stew, you have been a truly amazing inspiration. I still can't quite believe that you are going; I guess it is not a dream. You will be sorely missed. Your drum solo in Take Me Away will stay with me forever. God bless, Joe. Joe Maples - Petersfield

Stew, I remmember my first Delirious gig, I think it was the glo tour (you know the one where Martin wore those pyjamas!), you gave me one of your wild eyed glares while hammering out your drums and I went home sooo chuffed that I had got a smile from 'the drummer'! Since then, ive grown up a bit as Ive followed you and seen you all on your journey. Your passion for worshiping God astounds me mate. The way that you can still meet God, with hands outstretched playing a song you've played over a thousand times inspires me. So many people look up to you as an example of someone giving their gifts and serving the Lord with a smile on their face. I think your descision to trust God and move on shows immense trust and hope in God, and I hope he richly blesses you and your family and the band in this descision. Bless you mate, and thank you for blessing us. Alistair Forman - London

Smeezer, God took your musical talent and used it for His great purposes in bringing the delirious? sound to the world, giving joy to so many and bringing challenge to the church. You will be missed.
