Synopsis
The disappearance of Richey Edwards, troubled guitarist of the Manic Street Preachers, is one of rock and roll's great unsolved mysteries. His car was found abandoned near the Severn Bridge, a notorious suicide spot, two weeks after Edwards had last been seen. The car’s location, and the tape in the deckNirvana's In Uterosuggested one conclusion. However, it almost seemed too obvious. In A Version of Reason, Rob Jovanovic unravels the complicated life and final days of Richey Edwards. Piecing together testimony from those close to Edwards, Jovanovic attempts to produce an authoritative account of what happened that day in 1995.
