It's more common than you'd think. They've cut back so much on editing it's not unusual to see biographies delayed at the last minute. It might well be a small portion but no doubt that small portion may otherwise have landed them in the courts. I don't think the book had been distributed beyond reviewers as yet which may account for the small fortnight only delay. I don't think she has much experience. Nor the ghost Leon Noakes It's a shame as I'm sure there are good music journalists out there who would have been interested in taking this project on and offered Rachel a more experienced pair of hands
It will be a shame if all this ends up hurting those closest to Richey, Rachel and the remaining band members, more than it helps
(The tweet referred to band and court allegedly...can I get away with that? I put in allegedly I don't believe it was true which is why it's vamooshed. Interestingly the book's own website Withdrawn Traces has ironically had all trace withdrawn which did make me giggle)

There is a rapture on the lonely shore

By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more," - Byron
'I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.' (from Sea Fever - John Masefield)
"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all" - Emily Dickinson
