Richey was, beautiful says Cummins, a natural icon and a gift to photograph. He also believes his writing has been overshadowed by the fact of his disappearance in 1995. "I think nobody has looked beyond that for quite a long time.鈥�

Manic Street Preachers biographer, Simon Price, also knew Richey Edwards and says he was "the most intelligent rock star I've ever met".

This programme covers alcoholism, anorexia, and self-harm, but it also celebrates Richey鈥檚 sensitivity and, as Price says, the fact that he is one of those "icons of alienation" like Ian Curtis and Kurt Cobain who will " always be there for people to discover the genius of his work".

Presented by Matthew Parris and produced for 麻豆官网首页入口 Studios by Ellie Richold.
