**TRIGGER WARNING DEPRESSION & SELF HARM** 

Richey Edwards was a Welsh musician who was the lyricist and rhythm guitarist of the Manic Street Preachers. He vanished on 1 February 1995 and is widely presumed to have taken his own life, but a body was never found and no definite proof uncovered that he died by suicide. This has led to several theories that Edwards is still alive and staged his disappearance in order to start a new life.
