17 years ago Richey Edwards left the Embassy Hotel and was never seen again. I hope where ever he is, he has found some peace and happiness. And I hope he knows that people love him and miss him so much.

The  NME asked ‘-

‘How do you remember him? What did/does he mean to you?

I could go on for ages about what an imapct he has on my life in the last year, but this just quickly sums it up.

He was controversial, beautiful, entertaining, honest and incredible intelligent. There hasn’t been anyone like him since. His passion for words is something you don’t see now, He wasn’t scared to push boundaries. Not many band members can get you into reading all sorts of books and poetry, get you passionate about history and politics whilst still covered in leopard print and eyeliner. He was the voice for the useless generation. The last true rock icon.
