Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire has hinted that the band may do something special to mark the 20th anniversary of Everything Must Go in 2016. Watch our interview with Wire below.
The Manics released their fourth album Everything Must Go in 1996 - their first to achieve true mainstream success, seeing them achieve critical acclaim, landing them in the top five albums chart and containing the smash singles 'A Design For Life', 'Australia', 'Kevin Carter' and the title track. They released a deluxe expanded edition of the album to mark it's 10th anniversary in 2006.
Now, as the band prepare to wrap up touring for the anniversary of the seminal The Holy Bible, Wire tells Gigwise that they may have more special plans in store for next year.
"Maybe we'll never do another one," Wire told Gigwise of their plans for a new album. "Futurology was such a brilliant sumation of who we are, who knows? Everything Must Go is 20 years old next year as well, so we might even just do a couple of gigs doing that. I think we need to replenish our inspiration, you know?"
When quizzed on his plans for the summer after touring, Wire said: "Back to the bedroom, trying to write some ideas, read lots of books and watch lots of films. Hopefully something will happen. If not, I'll just be raiding the archives for Everything Must Go 20!"
