Last year one of the guys from the Motorcycle Boy did some interviews about their reissue and he had no clue where she was and couldn't track her down.

It's all very strange.

Now on FB that the same guy from the Motorcycle Boy confirmed that after he gave those interviews he was contacted by Alex's husband and told that she passed away in 2005. I guess that in the 90s she just completely dropped out of her previous circles and that was before social media etc. so it just didn't come out at that point. Sad news. She had such a great voice.

Wow. RIP Alex.

Here's one of those interviews from last year, the last lines are very poignant.

two months pass...

I just heard about this reissue and am listening to it on streaming. It's really beautiful and of course sad as I'm just hearing about Alex Taylor passing as well.
