Career[edit]
Bullet for My Valentine[edit]
Matthew Tuck is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist in the Welsh heavy metal band Bullet for My Valentine. The band formed in 1998 and was originally called Jeff Killed John and was performing nu metal. After bassist Nick Crandle left, they picked up Jason James as their new bassist and renamed the band Bullet for My Valentine. They have released six studio albums and four EPs. The band has sold over one million albums in the United States and over 3,000,000 albums worldwide[2] and are the most-successful act in the Kerrang! Awards category of 'Best British Band' with three wins.
AxeWound[edit]
Tuck is the backing vocalist and rhythm guitarist in the SupergroupAxeWound. He plays alongside Liam Cormier of Cancer Bats, Mike Kingswood of Glamour of the Kill, Joe Copcutt of ZOAX and formerly of Rise to Remain, and Jason Bowld of Pitchshifter.[3]
Health problems[edit]
In November 2006, while on tour with As I Lay Dying and Protest the Hero, Tuck suffered from laryngitis, which led to a series of concert cancellations, until early January 2007 when he was able to sing after his recovery period.
On 22 June 2007 it was announced that he needed a tonsillectomy.[4] The band was forced to cancel all of their shows, including their tour as a support band for Metallica.[5] 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.[6]

Personal life[edit]
Tuck married Charlotte Beedell on 7 September 2013 in London.[8] The couple have a son, Evann, who was born in 2010.[9]
Influences[edit]
Tuck's earliest influences as a child would involve the music his parents listened to. In particular, his father's favourite band was Status Quo who he would hear the vinyl's of a lot as a little kid, as well as Bruce Springsteen's records.[10]
Tuck's main influences would go on to consist of Nirvana, Pantera, Slayer, Machine Head, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Limp Bizkit and Jimmy Eat World.[11][12][10]
However, Tuck's biggest influence growing up was Metallica, with their epoyomous black album being the first record he ever bought after he heard 'Enter Sandman' for the first time.[12] They would also be the main reason as to why he would start to play the guitar, learning the riffs by ear; eventually paving the way for his musical career.[13][10]
