Summary

From humble beginnings in Blackwood, south Wales, in 1986, Manic Street Preachers have grown to become one of the UK’s biggest and most controversial rock bands. In their early years, they attracted intense press attention for their provocative statements, fierce intellect, and uncompromising music. Following the shocking and tragic disappearance of lyricist Richey Edwards in 1995, the Manics recalibrated their sound and achieved mainstream international success including two UK #1 singles.
