In February 1995, on the eve of a promotional tour in America, Richey disappeared.

It just seemed really childish.” In September 2022, the Manics announced a co-headlining tour of United States and Canada with Suede for November 2022, which would be the first time the two bands would share the stage since they toured Europe together in 1994.
