## Summary

Folk singer-songwriter Linda Perhacs has been reported missing after friends and former collaborators said they had been unable to contact her for around eight months. The report has prompted a public appeal for information about the 82-year-old musician’s welfare, given her longstanding influence on experimental and psychedelic folk.

Perhacs was last seen at an assisted-living facility in California, where she had lived for eight years, before reportedly being discharged under the supervision of caregivers. Her former manager Laurel Stearns said a missing-person report was filed with the Los Angeles Police Department on 6 June, but friends have not been given an update because they lack a legal relationship to Perhacs. Her 1970 debut, Parallelograms, gained a cult following after its rediscovery in the 2000s; she later released albums in 2014 and 2017.
