Richey Edwards has been declared as presumed dead, 13 years after he disappeared, a spokesman for the band said yesterday. "There has been a change in his legal status," said the spokesman for the Welsh rock band, adding that his parents had been granted a court order to that effect. Edwards disappeared in February, 1995, when the 27-year-old musician's car was found abandoned near the Severn Bridge linking England and Wales. Despite alleged sightings of the guitarist since his disappearance, he is widely believed to have taken his own life.
The band's website (see link above) comments as follows:
All the songs we are recording are lyrics left to us by Richey. Finally it feels like the right time to use them... It's a record that celebrates the genius of his words, full of love, anger, intelligence and respect. We have to make this great. Wish us luck.
That's quite a task to take on... to bring your former bandmate's words to life when he is no longer around... May the Muse be with them...
