Richey's contribution to THB / his disappearance

[Chriss]

Reading this thread I realised I often forget about how James must feel about Richey/his disappearance. When I do think about this particular subject I think of how Nicky must feel losing his best friend etc but James was there and James was the last person to speak to him.

It's all so sad.
It also makes it that much more special that they carried on and they've recently done a tour of the album that Richey had probably his biggest input on.

Very true, especially as James has to sing every word of Richey's lyrics in this tour. I can't think of any other bands with lost members who have paid tribute/made so much reference to that member over such a long period of time.
