A bunch of dates were cancelled in 2002 as well. ![]() Has he appeared in public?Guns N’ Roses started playing concerts again in 2001, but cancelled most of them and only played 4 dates that year. By the end of the decade, his appearance changed drastically: he gained weight, grew a beard, and cut his hair shorter. When did he go into hiding? Guns N’ Roses were one of the biggest rock bands of the late 80s and early 90s and Axl Rose’s last public appearance was on 20 January 1994 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to induct Elton John. Axl Rose: Went reclusive in the mid-90s, toured in the 2000s and 2010s Given all of this, it makes sense that she doesn’t tour and why she’s reclusive. That’s not her only phobia though, she also has suffered from performance anxiety, agoraphobia, and fear of heights. Luckily everyone survived, but she says that she still has to go to therapy decades later to deal with her phobia. She has a fear of flying, which worsened when ABBA toured the US in 1979, when the plane was en route to Boston, it ran out of fuel and hit a tornado, meaning it had to make an emergency landing. What did she do while in hiding? Agnetha focused on astrology, yoga, and horseback riding and lives in a small town in Sweden. Five years later, she was interviewed for the opening of ABBA World. She did one exclusive interview with a Swedish TV station in 2004. Has she appeared in public? She makes very few public promotional appearances: Appearing at the opening of Mamma Mia! with her ABBA bandmates in 2005, appearing at the film premiere for Mamma Mia! in 2008, attending the Rockbjörnen Awards in 2009 to receive a lifetime honourary award for ABBA, opening of Mamma Mia! in Denmark in 2010, singing on stage for the first time in 25 years at BBC Children in Need Rocks 2013, and appearing at Stockholm Pride in 2013. Very little is known about her private life and if anything major happens in her life, people don’t know for a long time. During this time, she didn’t do anything music related.Įven after that album’s release, she refused to be involved in any extensive promotion: no album signings, no meet and greets, no tours. In 1988, she went on hiatus from recording and didn’t release a new album until 2004, called My Colouring Book. When did she go into hiding? Agnetha was a member of ABBA, the pretty blonde one, if you’re not sure who I’m talking about. They’re out there, you can find them online yourself.Īgnetha Faltskog: On hiatus for 17 years, rarely appears in public Out of respect for the reclusive rock stars, I won’t be sharing any photos or videos of them since they went into hiding. In this blog post, we’ll talk about rock stars who went into hiding either temporarily or indefinitely. All I hope is that these rock stars are happy or lived happy lives, in the case of those who are no longer with us. I love mysteries and stories about mysterious people and there are times I wonder why did that celebrity hide? What is life like for them? Are they happy? These are questions we’ll never know the answers to. I don’t blame celebrities who go into hiding. However, there are many downsides: your life may never be normal again, people will scrutinise and be curious about your personal life, you’ll get body shamed, people might use you as a stepping stone or for your money, and sometimes you don’t want to deal with fans asking for selfies and autographs. ![]() Fame comes with perks: money, love and recognition from fans, and special treatment in bars and restaurants. Syd Barrett wasn’t the only rock star who went into hiding. With shelter in place, stay at home being the norm now for what seems to be a decade, people are sharing memes like Syd Barrett: Social Distancing Champ 1972-2006.
