What Happened? 7 Popular Artists Who Went MIA At The Peak of Their Fame

Okay, so maybe Tracy isn’t completely missing from the music scene. She still drops albums occasionally and tours across Europe and the US. But after the release of ’88’s self-titled album with the fan-favorite song “Fast Car” and all the notoriety that came with it, Chapman decided to pump the brakes and take her time releasing new music. She was literally looked at as the woman who pushed other musicians to be socially conscious, so I’m sure the pressure and all the eyes on her couldn’t have been as exciting for a simplistic guitar playing singer-songwriter, as it would have been for a pop-star-in-the-making. After some years had passed from her first release, she quietly came back on the scene in ’92, and slowly but surely got back into the swing of recording (especially in the new Millennium after she took a five-year hiatus). She does a lot of charitable work as opposed to running around getting negative press for doing the most random of things.
