Musician

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He suffered from alcoholism, depression, and anorexia.
    During a concert in Thailand, he slashed his chest open with knives given to him by a fan (1993).
    On the eve of their American press tour, Richey disappeared, leaving behind his passport, wallet, and packed suitcase (1995).
    His car was found abandoned on a bridge a few weeks later.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was the band's lyricist and cover designer.
    Many critics thought his self-mutilation was a ploy for publicity instead of an indication of serious mental instability.
    He sought treatment for his mental illness (1994).
    There has been no trace of him since 1995, though local authorities believe he committed suicide.
    The Manic's continue as a trio but still hold out hope that he will return one day.
