In some rather happy metal news, Rayna Foss, the original bassist for Coal Chamber, who was reported as missing since September by many music outlets (including us) is alive, well and not missing at all! 



Foss daughter Kayla Moray Rose confirmed via a post on her private Instagram that her mother is not missing and has been in constant contact with the family. 

Let me set the record straight. I’ve seen all of the posts regarding that my mother Rayna has been missing since September. I have no idea where these stories are coming from. I spoke to my mother as recently as yesterday, and we have never lost contact. My grandparents have also been in contact with my mother, and we all know exactly where she is. I have a message in to the New Orleans Police Department advising them of this and am waiting for them to respond.

Foss apparent disappearance was first reported by WVUE New Orleans. Kayla signed off on her message with some helpful advice for reporters that we promise to take into account here at Maniacs. 

Hopefully there won’t be a next time, but maybe someone can check before running these stories that end up disrupting my entire family in the future" 

Now let's all blast the Coal Chamber classic Fiend, home to some iconic bass work from Foss, in celebration.
