#20: The Disappearance of Richey Edwards, Manic Street Preachers’ Guitarist

Despite the Manic Street Preachers’ ’90s success, guitarist Richey Edwards vanished in 1995 at age 27. Known for mental health struggles, he had dismissed suicide speculation. His unresolved disappearance left the music world in shock.

Speculation arose that Edwards might have chosen to end his life at the Severn Bridge after his car was found nearby. However, with no definitive evidence, some, including his sister Rachel, hold onto the belief he might be quietly living abroad.
