Vanished Without a Trace: True Stories of Missing Rock Stars


Listen Later

Oh man, coming up on today, we're getting into a topic that we’ve never covered before. It’s the stories of musicians who vanished from public without a trace. I’m not talking about One hit wonders who never had another hit…I’m talking about actual missing persons… Amazingly, some of these artists would later be found after decades of having gone missing but the others remain unsolved. Some of these disappearances are completely unexplainable, and some of these musicians have been pronounced dead… because it’s the most likely scenario. We’ll tell the story of a beloved bassist from an iconic 80s band Loverboy who was swept overboard by a massive 25-foot wave off the coast of San Francisco. And the tale of legendary bandleader Glen Miller, whose plane disappeared over the English Channel. And then there’s the brilliant folk singer Connie Converse, who packed her Volkswagen and drove off into the sunset never to be heard from again. Some of these artists would leave nothing behind but their music. But did some of them fake their own disappearance? Some people think so. Get ready for seven incredible disappearing acts… including David Glasper from Breath who had hits with Hands to Heaven and How Can I Fall and Gerry Rafferty who's 70s hit Baker Street changed everything. Both vanished. NEXT on the Professor of Rock.
