This is an open thread. As the title suggests, I'm sure we've been familiar with entertainers who seem to have "disappeared" from the public eye.

Thus, this thread. If you wonder about somebody, or if you have a lead as to where somebody is and/or what they're up to, post it! Sort of a "Where Are They Now?" topic.

This could be interesting on several levels. It will familiarize people with those heretofore unknown to them, and will let us keep up with "popular" culture.

For example, whatever happened to Craig David? He came on the music scene a couple of years ago, and just as quickly seemed to be gone (at least here in the US).

OK, it's all yours!

Whatever happened to Nneka Obi . . she played as Nneka in the movie "Nneka the pretty serpent", she had some social problems after that and since then she hasnt really been out there

This is great! Please keep posting! And, remember, if you know of what has happened to any of the performers, let us know! If you wish, you may post a link so that others may keep informed as well.
