This may be the shortest thread ever on ILM, but have there been any more than Richey Edwards

(Obviously, Jim Morrison and Elvis Presley are both officially pronounced dead, in spite of some lunatics claiming otherwise)

Didn't one of the members of a band like Grand Funk Railroad or someone to that effect become a scientist and then disappeared under mysterious circumstances?

Dave Tyack's remains were found in 2004. Richey is running a beach bar in Goa.

Until he suddenly comes out of the forest after spending the past 10 years studying Indian philosophy.

Richey Edwards is officially dead.

Though 7 years after his disappearance he could be pronounced legally dead the family preferred to keep him officially classed as a missing person.

Sure, he is still in here:

Wasn't there a thread on Alex Chilton missing in New Orleans? Whatever happened with that? And Tjay Cantrelli?

eight years pass...

I posted this to the FAX records thread, but maybe this is a better place for it:

I was listening to Tetsu Inoue's Inland (another great late-period FAX album) from 2007, and was wondering why I haven't heard about any newer releases from him... But after a quick googling, it turns out that record was the last one he's released, and since that he's totally disappeared, with no one (at least outside Japan) being able to track him down. There's some info here, but it's scarce.

I hope everything is fine with him and he's just taking care of family or something (as suggested by one comment on the site I linked to), it'd be terribly sad if something bad's happened to him.

I mean, the stuff he released on FAX, both solo and collabs, is pretty much my favourite ambient music of all time, it'd be awful if both he and Namlook had passed away before their time... So hopefully he's okay, and just taking it easy somewhere.

I was totally bummed by discovering this, especially since it happened soon after reading the news that Mark Bell has died.

good luck tracking him down tuomas.

(even if he wishes to remain hidden and you he requests you keep things under wraps)

― mark e, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 09:45 (eleven years ago)

I didn't mean to imply I want to track him down... If he's simply retired from music-making and wants to be left alone, I can respect that. But it'd be nice to just get some confirmation he's still alive.

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 09:52 (eleven years ago)

I mean, with the kind of profile he has, if he'd just send an email or something saying, "Hi folks, I'm still alive!", I doubt there'd be hoardes of experimental ambient fans ruining his backyard.
