Matthew Tuck (born 20 January 1980) is a Welsh musician, best known as the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the heavy metal band Bullet for My Valentine. He is also a singer and guitarist in the supergroupAxeWound, which was formed in 2012.
Bullet for My Valentine formed in 1998 under the name Jeff Killed John and were originally a nu metal band. After bassist Nick Crandle left in 2003, they picked up Jason James as their new bassist and renamed the band Bullet for My Valentine.[1] They have released six studio albums and four EPs.
Tuck is also the backing vocalist and rhythm guitarist in the supergroupAxeWound.[2]
On 22 June 2007 it was announced that he needed a tonsillectomy.[3] The band was forced to cancel all of their shows, including their tour as a support band for Metallica.[4] Unable to speak, Tuck wrote that as soon as doctors cleared him he would be in the studio working on the band's next album.[5]
However, his biggest influence growing up was Metallica, with their eponymous Black Album being the first record he ever bought after he heard the song "Enter Sandman" for the first time.[8] They were the main reason why he would start to play the guitar, learning the riffs by ear; eventually paving the way for his musical career.[9][6]
Personal lifeEdit
Tuck married Charlotte Beedell on 7 September 2013 in London.[10] The couple have two sons[citation needed] and filed for divorce in early 2016[11] but later reconciled.[12]
