The one thing that might save him is that he's in an increasingly successful band; but the demons that nag him won't be persuaded. In February 1995, Richey Edwards checked out of a London hotel instead of flying to the U. S. with the rest of the Manic Street Preachers. There were a few subsequent sightings but then nothing. His body was never found, and he was declared legally dead in November 2008. Now \"Richard\" tells the story of his life--and disappearance--as he might have told it; set in the 1980s and 1990s, it's a compelling, tragic account of one man's battle with his own worst enemy--himself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46526063214743,"sku":"9780330517041","price":385.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780330517041.webp?v=1767265777","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/richard-9780330517041","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
