Art Garfunkel missing in Sweden

Swedish newspapers are appealing for the public to tell them if they spot Art Garfunkel, after the American singer failed to appear at his show in Malmö Saturday night, and is now said to have "disappeared".
Julius Malmström, who runs a ticket booking business, says to newspaper Sydsvenskan that "we lost track of him in Gothenburg." The Night of the Proms show at the Malmö Arena last night was cancelled at short notice. The reason given was that it was due to illness.
But Julius Malmström says that the tour had already gone wrong in Gothenburg on Thursday, when Garfunkel was found to be missing from the venue, just before he was supposed to perform in act two. "We could not find him at the hotel either. It's unbelievably bad. I have been in the business for 40 years and never been involved in anything like this".
Night of the Proms also features artists including Anastacia and Sarah Dawn Finer, so the Gothenburg Scandinavium show went on that night without the main attraction.
Julius Mlamström says that he thinks Garfunkel simply left for home after Gothenburg. "In any case, he never arrived at the hotel in Malmö." He says to Sydsvenskan that he had travelled with Garfunkel i Gothenburg and the star was possibly not happy with his voice: "but if you're ill, you go to a doctor and get a sick note for your employer."
Malmström says that Garfunkel is an icon, but that he has behaved badly. "It is a shame if he is going to end his career like this."
