Manics pay tribute to Richey

Manic Street Preachers paid tribute to former guitarist Richey Edwards at their recent Astoria show, with bassist Nicky Wire dedicating 'Faster' to him.

Manic Street Preachers paid tribute to their former guitarist Richey Edwards at their recent show at London's Astoria. As you all surely know, Edwards went missing back in February 1995, and whilst many believe that he's no longer with us, there have been claimed sightings, and his family have opted to retain his missing person status, rather than have him declared legally dead. What you might not know is that Edwards' final performance with the band took place at the Astoria in 1994.

At the venue on Tuesday, bassist Nicky Wire dedicated a performance of 'Faster' to "the genius of Mr Richard Edwards".
