Was that some BS about Sean's schooling? I'd heard that was inaccurate and, if it is, also deeply hurtful.
EDIT: Someone just said the book's been delayed yet again. Now it's early March, according to an email from Amazon. Last edited by Velocitygirl; 07-02-2019 at 18:55. |

I'll respectfully decline to go into details, but everything you probably think you know about Sean's childhood and family is wrong.

Delayed again ? Have we chucked many spanners into the works?

Not to make light of the situation, but it would be deeply ironic if the book was (ahem) delayed forever.

From a 2016 Music Radar interview with Sean regarding the band’s approach to Richey’s future involvement with the band:
Had Richey’s contribution become less over the course of those first three albums? “No, I don’t think so, it was still lyrics and cheekbones. He didn’t really contribute that much in the studio, but he never pretended he was a guitarist, so his job was all about image and the artwork of the albums, the press releases and those sorts of things. Only post-Priory...we tried to give him the space, we didn’t put any pressure on him, but he felt he needed to be part of the band live. “We said just come along if you want and sit on the bus, or just write lyrics and be inspired by that.We did two tours, one with Suede, one with Therapy? and i think it was difficult for him but he wanted to do it. So we were weary but we were aware. It was never a problem.”

I don’t think I know much, other than that he lived with James and his family for a time.

its probably to do with how that came about which in Everything, sounded kind of shitty. So if it wasn't true, I imagine there's some hurt feelings....

I thought he was living with James to spare him the upheaval of his parents splitting up? Don't want to read that chapter again just for that glaring Birthday error. Had no idea at the time it was wrong.

I lost my copy of "Everything" during a house move, a few years ago. I can't remember much of what was said about Sean, tbh. Or any of the others, for that matter.
But, on the whole, that book came from a place of decency (I believe). I don't think Price had malicious intent. Unlike certain other biographers currently doing the rounds. |

I notice the price dropped to £14 on amazon. Must be needing a lot less pages than intended.
For years I've slagged off the book by Price, mostly because he rubs me up the wrong way. I flicked through it again a couple of days ago because of this thread. Now I'm thinking that despite errors and his X years of dining out on being the "Manic's biographer", and Other Things, it shows how much better biogs are when the author actually knew the person/people, even only in the way Price knew them. |

Btw, I forgot to answer you about my source for Richey telling Simon Price that Jo was the only person he slept with in 1993...I believe that came for the Rob Jovanovic book. Quote:

It's pretty crummy that the best bio on the band is loaded with inaccuracies. I'm personally not the biggest fan of Price, but you'd think given his history with the band that he would have done a better job researching that book then he did. I wasn't aware about the furor over what was written about Sean though. Last edited by Bryter Layter; 07-02-2019 at 21:53. |

Didn't mind Simon Price's book. I think at times he is a bit of a wally and he is lucky that he seems to have pretty much made a career out of the Manics but I don't think he meant any offence in anything he put in the book.
He got some stuff wrong and I can live with that. This new book needs to be stopped to be honest. It's unnecessary and SHR has failed on all levels. It's not gonna reclaim Richey and its not led to finding out what happened. So really what's the point? Yeah it could raise awareness but it's also giving fuel to pathetic conspiracy theorists and crap opinions that I'm pretty sure will do more harm than good to any future investigations. SHR seems to revel in these stupid rumours as if they are a badge of honour because they were told to her! I get that for the sake of being complete some of the stories are worth touching on but they should also then be instantly dismissed and ridiculed. Maybe in the book they are? But let's face it they won't be. And she's been using them to promote it so straight away she loses credibility for not laughing at the more outrageous ones. I keep checking here to see if it's been canceled Last edited by beautifuldistortion; 07-02-2019 at 21:58. |

This thread is flipping great. Kudos to all.

Thanks! I should probably actually get around to reading that, especially on my current Manix full steam. Although do I need confusing even further right now?!
