No AIBU just posting here as more people use this topic.

I know being famous means you cannot leave your old life and start again like some missing people must.

Some people just vanish though don't they? Taking no money or ID.

Can people just "disappear? I know a lot of these people will have been murdered and no evidence found but how come it hadn't happened to anyone famous.

Had a drink tonight abs I can't really put it into words what I'm trying to say.

So actually plenty of them then.

@Spidey66

Not a sleb though.....just a crook!

I agree.

Eric Faulkner of the Bay City Rollers has vanished, last seen in 2016 as far as I know.

@EmmalineC
I didn’t know that…

BalloonSlayer · 22/08/2021 14:29

What??? Eric was my favourite one!

user1493423934 · 22/08/2021 14:41

Umm . . . maybe not. . . apparently he was around in 2018 according to wiki:

@the80sweregreat

Janice long is Keith Chegwin's sister. I didn't know this for years and they were on tv at the same kind of times as presenters etc. Yes, he died in 2017.

Janice Long is Andy Kershaw's sister, not Keith Chegwin's. Unless she's both. Off to Google!

NeedToKnow101 · 22/08/2021 14:51

Apologies @the80sweregreat ! So she is! BlushBlushBlushBlush

NeedToKnow101 · 22/08/2021 14:53

Omg! It's Liz Kershaw who is Andy Kershaw's sister. I'm mortified BlushBlush. In my defence I'm very hungover.

Adolf Hitler? His death was never proved to the satisfaction of everyone - and many of his hench men also vanished
There were tests on some remains found at the Fuhrer Bunker that proved it was pretty much beyond doubt it was him

Eric Faulkner of the Bay City Rollers has vanished, last seen in 2016 as far as I know.
From Wiki

"In February 2015, Faulkner almost died when he contracted viral encephalitis. Although initial recovery seemed rapid, he was left with post encephalitic syndrome. During his recovery in 2017 he wrote and recorded new music"

@eekbumbler

Oh my goodness - I did not know that about Keith Chegwin!

Apologies to anyone I may have upset.

Last I heard he was hosting a naked game show ,which admittedly was probably over 20 years ago. Finger on pulse.

I'm guessing him and Maggie Philbin had divorced.

Whatever happened to her? Did she go missing? Shall I shut up?

Bless Keith, I actually saw him about 18 months before he died in a morning pantomime performance I went to with my school!! It was in a large room attached to a football stadium so not exactly the height of fame. I was buzzing, but the kids had no idea. I guess he must have needed the money! God rest his soul!

@ToffeeNotCoffee

Rylan Clark-Neal is currently recording the t.v. series, 'It takes two.'

(Ironic, really)

ITT is a weekday daily live (ish) show filmed whilst Strictly Come Dancing airs...so not currently, but from late September (ish) depending on when the next series starts.

Jeremy Corbyn quite successful.

linsey2581 · 22/08/2021 18:09

@eekbumbler Keith chegwin died years ago.

suckingonchillidogs · 22/08/2021 18:10

I bloody loved Cheggars, he always cheered me up

AutistGoth · 22/08/2021 18:14

Was it you who begun the thread about places with a strange vibe, OP? I loved that one!

It would appear thst we have quite a few interests in common! I'm autistic too, though not dyslexic.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 22/08/2021 18:31

For some reason, as a child, I was always absolutely convinced that Keith Chegwin, Janice Long AND Bruno Brookes were all siblings. I've no idea where I got the idea that Bruno was related to them, though - maybe one of them made a joke at one point and it set in my head!

1987qwerty · 22/08/2021 18:33

Prince Harry and Megan. Said they were stepping back from public life, not been seen or heard of since....oh hang on...

cricketmum84 · 22/08/2021 18:38

@ChipButties Neil Buchanan is most definitely not straight laced. I saw him in a heavy metal band a few years ago and lost count of the number of times he screamed c**t into the audience 😳

Sharindlar1st · 22/08/2021 18:54

Nor a celebrity but her daughter - Linda Goodmans daughter went missing and was never found :(

Apologies she was but LG refused to accept it. I’ll get my coat

Not quite what the OP asked, but if anyone remembers the music video of Runaway Train by Soul Asylum, this is an update on these missing kids.
