Nearly fourteen years after Richey James Edwards of the Manic Street Preachers disappeared without a trace his parents Graham and Sherry Edwards have been granted a court order for him to be declared presumed dead, the BBC reports.
Richey was 27 years old when he disappeared from Wales in early 1995. He was last seen in London February 1 that year, on the eve of departure for a U.S. tour.
We wish the best to Richey’s family and the Manic Street Preachers during these difficult times. Both hoped Edwards would come back alive and well, and his parents decided not to pronounce him dead on the ten years anniversary of his disappearance.
