US musician Art Garfunkel has been located in the US ending a search for the star which began after he failed to show up for a concert in Gothenburg in western Sweden on Friday.
"We lost track of him in Gothenburg," ticket agent Julius Malmström confirmed to the Sydsvenskan daily after the star failed to show for a second gig in Malmö on Saturday evening.
Garfunkel was due to perform as part of a touring concert entitled "Night of the Proms" alongside Anastacia, Måns Zelmerlöw and John Miles, but shortly before he was due on stage the veteran crooner disappeared.
Julius Malmström confirmed that he had last seen Garfunkel when they drove around in Gothenburg on Thursday, revealing that the artist had expressed concern over his voice.
"He seemed fit but not completely happy with his voice. It is possible that he was off colour, but if you are sick then you need to go to the doctor and get a certificate for your employer," he told the newspaper.
"This is bad form. Not least for himself. He is an icon in the business and it is regrettable if his career will end like this."
Malmström explained that ticker-holders would be entitled to a partial refund once he had contacted Garfunkel's US management on Monday to ascertain what had happened and why Garfunkel had decided to return home.

Takes balls dropping out of a show like that. He's lucky anyone even cares about him. The only reason he has any relevance is because of Paul Simon. If not for Simon, he'd be managing a Waffle House today.

Simon and Garfunkel really made some good music back in their day. I'm thinking of Mrs. Robinson, which is a staple on most classic hit stations these days.

Malmström explained that ticker-holders would be charged extra since they did not have to listen to Garfunkel's musical dribble.

There...... fixed that for ya...or them.....or whoever

I agree with Lx and will even take it a step further and say that Simon and Garfunkel produce trite sentimental music that was what the 60’s movement looked like when it became suburbanized. It was pop-protest (a rebellion against the status quo all cleaned up and marketed by the status quo for the status quo). It was sanitized revolution. Anthems of a hippy movement for baker’s kids and prep school students.

Kuku-achew Mrs. Robinson……..and so on…….bla bla bla

I seem to remember another writer…..of a bit different caliber…….who summed it up nicely

"He is but a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
(Macbeth: Act V, Scene V)

Of the two, Paul Simon was the true talent
