Gerry Rafferty is missing

Nobody, it turns out, has seen Gerry Rafferty in the last six months:

Rafferty was being treated for liver failure having battled alcoholism for many years. Before entering hospital, the 61-year-old Scottish singer had been staying at the Westbury Hotel but he had been asked to leave after rendering the room unusable.

Tony Williams, who formed Stealers Wheel with Rafferty in the 1970s, believes he might be on a 'suicide trip'. "It's absolutely tragic," he said. "If he has liver failure he obviously needs someone to look after him. If he is still alive, somebody must be caring for him.”

It's a bit of a shame nobody raised the alarm any sooner.
