Nicky Wire To Release ‘Death Of The Polaroid’
The photography book features instant snaps of the band’s entire career.
Manic Street Preachers’ Nicky Wire is to release a book featuring personal photographs taken throughout the band’s career.
‘Death Of The Polaroid: A Manics Family Album’ unsurprisingly features a selection of Polaroid photographs taken by (or of, presumably, too) Wire.
You can see him talk about the project here:
The book will be published by Faber in November 2011, and is the first of two books agreed with the Manics bassist and lyricist.
