Linda Perhacs<\/a> have posted a public plea to anyone knowing information on the whereabouts of the revered singer-songwriter.<\/p>\n\n\tThe statement, written by Perhac\u2019s former manager Laurel Stearns, claims that the 82-year-old songwriter was discharged from a residential care facility eight months ago under the supervision of her legal guardian. Perhac\u2019s friends and collaborators state that they haven\u2019t been able to contact Perhacs nor her guardian. In an Instagram post alongside a photo of the singer, Stearns wrote, \u201cLINDA PERHACS FANS, WE NEED YOUR HELP. LINDA HAS GONE MISSING.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThe release itself states that at \u201cthis time, those issuing this statement are not alleging wrongdoing,\u201d adding, \u201cRather, they are seeking confirmation that Linda is safe, well, and receiving appropriate care, while expressing concern over the prolonged absence of communication with a beloved public figure.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tPerhacs is best known for 1970\u2019s Parallelograms, recorded when she was a dental hygienist. It went overlooked for years until it received renewed appreciation in the late-Nineties, gaining her a cult audience who regards the album as a lost psychedelic folk classic. She released her comeback album The Soul of All Natural Things\u00a0in 2014, followed by\u00a0I\u2019m a Harmony\u00a0three years later.<\/p>\n
