It's ten years since the disappearance of Manic Street Preacher
Richey Edwards, and the band have been marking the occasion privately with their former bandmate's family. The band's **Nicky
Wire** told NME: "We'll talk to each other and remember something funny or sad. It's a personal thing between us and his mum, dad and sister".
Edwards, of course, disappeared back in 1995 aged 27, his car was discovered near the River Severn. Given that he was prone to depression, most think he probably committed suicide, although his family still refuse to have him declared dead and the band still pay his share of their royalties into a special bank account.
