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 Interestingly the book's own website Withdrawn Traces has ironically had all trace withdrawn which did make me giggle)
