That is sad news about steve brown, having produced some bona fide manics classics.

No idea if it means anything significant, but the official Manics page on facebook is busy changing profile pictures, etc (although they don't look like new ones...)

Read somewhere today that Sean moved to Huddersfield. Immediately felt both proud (hurrah, my home town!) and sorry (I hope he’s managed to move to the elusive “nice part of town,” wherever that is).
Then spotted this from a while ago. https://www.facebook.com/78444603837...367747097/?d=n Fair enough.

Actually, doing a bit of a search seems it's almost three years ago he moved here (apologies that it's from the Sun) https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbi...-quit-smoking/ |

Thinking back, I'm sure there was a story a year or two ago about James being spotted at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. I guess it must have been part of a trip to visit Sean in hour new abode.

That's a bit of a shock about sean and i've kept up with manics news for the most part but i guess like everyone else here i don't consider the sun to be worthy loo paper let alone adequate reading material.

Commute to their club house bit far from Huddersfield. Sean must really like his car

Can't Get You Out of My Head by Adam Curtis. 8 hours of Bobbie Searls, Yeltsin, Narcissism and Nixon. And Mao! It's a smorgasbord of manics influences

Aww if that is the case it is a bit sad. Eyebrow piercing. Tattoo? Midlife crisis? However I have the utmost respect and liking for Sean so I will leave his private life to being just that.
