What happened to Remy Shand?

Answer 1

As far as anyone can tell, Remy Shand has completely fallen off the radar. There are various rumors circulating about his absence, and they range from likely to questionable. What does seem apparent is that his record label Motown was not interested in Remy's follow-up album. This could be for any number of reasons; artistic differences, victim of downsizing, arguments over money, rights, and/or royalties. The list could go on and on.

But that was a while ago. As to the question of where Remy is now, there are a few claims, but nothing that can be regarded as 'official'. There have been a few 'sightings' of Remy doing smaller scale shows around Europe. There is another claim that he has relocated to Osaka Japan to make and sell his music to a completely different market. Others say that he has locked himself away to create his next grand masterpiece, a continual work of progress with no actual deadline (sort of pulling an Axel Rose with 'Chinese Democracy').

Remy also got married early in his career; something that could have changed his priorities. He may have made his money, realized he made his dreams come true, and bowed out quietly and gracefully from continuing music in order to start and raise a family. Lastly, there is the rumor that he may have succumbed to the music industry's darker side and fallen in with the wrong crowd dealing the wrong product. He may be hooked on something and keeps himself and his addiction staunchly out of the public eye. It's happened to numerous artists/actors over the years.

The bottom line is that Remy Shand's current whereabouts is all just speculation really. No one official has given any official statements for years now.
