What the hell has happened to sly stone?

He has completely dissapeared off the face of the earth. Does anybody know where he is or what he is doing?

Hopefully these'll be helpful. Near as we can tell, Sly went into rehab in the 80s, got his life back on track on the early 90s, and has since esconced himself from the public eye in his secluded mysterious beverly hills residence, writing and recording music in his home studio and riding motorcycles in his spare time.

I wonder if he did this music just for the sheer fun of it... or does he have a master plan? Anyway, would be interesting just to see how he looks nowadays.
And of course music could need some good "Luv N'Haight" type grooves!

Well Cynthia Robinson once said "Sly is a master planner, he even has a master plan for when the master plan fails". The guy who visited sly in the article I posted said that he wasn't sure when Sly was planning on releasing any of the music he's recorded since his commercial absence but that he got a "when I'm ready" vibe from him

I read that article, but unfortunately I really don't know what to make of that particluar quote. Sounds to me rather like "well, sometime, maybe, who knows, if any label wants it, ..."
I'm not too optimistic about any new stuff from him. sad
