Azaria and KJ from The Follow go missing

26/08/2008 1:32:00 PM, Monica Prev Next

Azaria, the former boyfriend of Jess from the Veronicas has gone missing in the US, where his band The Follow are currently based, and concerns are held for his safety. KJ, the female bass player of the band has also been missing since the pair was last seen in North Hollywood on Friday.

A blog entry appeared on the MySpace page of the formerly Sydney band today calling for information leading to the whereabouts of the band members.

The message reads:

WE'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT AZARIA AND KJ HAVE BEEN MISSING SINCE FRIDAY AUGUST 22ND. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION ON THEIR WHEREABOUTS, PLEASE CONTACT US. KJ AND AZARIA WERE LAST SEEN IN NORTH HOLLYWOOD AT THE CORNER OF BURBANK & VINELAND. CONCERNED FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS SHOULD CONTACT JaK COLEMAN FOR MORE INFORMATION.

Worlds End Management

Concerned fans have left messages on the page, including one from "Fanny Famous" who posted: "This better not be a publicity joke cos it's very cheap if it is... my thoughts are with you."

Yesterday the band's guitarist Jak Coleman posted this distressed message on his MySpace blog. He describes a scene in which Azaria "lost it completely", smashing the guitarist in the face with an acoustic guitar before crying and running out. He also reports that KJ has been missing, last seen going to a 7-11 store wearing no shoes and leaving without her wallet.

The band's management have also posted a message on their MySpace blog and website:

Hey Bros,

Andrew and I are f****** flippin out right now. KJ and Azaria from The Follow are missing. They've been recording their full length the last few weeks. We got a call from their guitar player JaK. They've been MIA since last Friday. These kids have been on edge for the last few weeks and there is speculation that they just turned their phones off and wanted to get away.

Like Azaria, Kara Jayne "K.J." Dickson has a famous amour — Craig Nicholls from The Vines is her boyfriend.

We've contacted management, and they've confirmed that this is not a joke, and that the pair are, indeed, missing.

And while there has been an unconfirmed sighting of Azaria on Saturday night at Hollywood restaurant and lounge CineSpace, at this point the two are still missing with Jak and the band's management filing a missing person's report and contacting the Australian Consulate for guidance.

Your all a bunch of idiots who have no right to comment on people they know nothing about. Get a life. Stop worrying about theirs. Can anyone say tall poppy syndrome? ***.

If "Azaria" is 28 how can he logically think he is the reincarnate of the Chamberlain baby? He was a knob in high school and he's still a knob now.

Azaria and KJ BOTH need to grow up. Mikey, I agree with you. It's sad, but when you're in a depresed state, you're not thinking clearly. It just seems to be that since KJ is going through a breakup-that maybe the case (the same article that's running in several Aussie newspapers www.news.com.au- confirming this story also confirms that KJ and Craig have broken up-type The Follow into the search engine, and it pops up-and it also confirms that Azaria and Jess from the Veronicas have broken up, but no one really knows if they're off right now or back on).

Pretty stupid to take off without saying a word. Funking irresponsible I may say. If Kj was spotted without shoes and her wallet at 7-11, she must be pretty depressed. Maybe Craig and KJ brokeup and she is sad. Poor girl, I feel for you but, after all the parties and smokes(But breath) and alcohol you love, another rocker boy will be knocking on your vodka bottle pretty soon. YUCK!

Well Azaria does think he's the reincarnated soul of Azaria Chamberlain (hence changing his name to Azaria) so maybe this is take two - convenient that little Azaria went missing in August 28 years ago. No?

JESS AND ZAR ARE STILL TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!and i am a Follow fan and i am soooooooo not emo.........

its prob ***, no1 even knows who these ppl r. just coz he's with 1 of the veronicas, big deal. publicity stunt 4 sure in the hope that ppl will buy their stuff, however it wouldnt suprise me if Azaria didnt get his way and cracked the ***. bunch of ferals i say

im worried for them as either way they are sad and they are both beautiful people...

hasn't anyone noticed that the only time Azaria is ever even mentioned,( or the follow for that matter) is when its connected by 'the former boyfriend of Jess from the Veronicas ' or something to do with his relationship with her. i mean, pretty sad. can you say 'fame by association'? yes, i think you can. i'd run away too...or maybe they're just off somewhere following their heARts. riiiight.

Hey, they can change the bands name to "Missing Persons", oops, forgot, taken. I know how 'bout "Missing Knuckleheads"?

A Lily Allen comeback? Already? MusicFIX Blog by Jade Feb 10 2010 10:58AM

In what could be the shortest retirement ever, Lily Allen is reconsidering her retirement plans just months after announcing she had quit music for good.

After promising It's Not Me, It's You would be her final album, Allen is already regretting her decision. "I keep thinking I am letting down all my fans," the singer told the UK's Metro . "Can I do it to them? It's a tough decision."

It must be the month of broken promises, with Allen returning to her twittering ways. The singer, well known for her Twitter addiction went cold turkey last year due to "technology overload," the UK's Glamour magazine reported.

But to the joy of twits everywhere Lily returned last week, proclaiming her love for Lady Gaga ("She is the bestest beeyatch ever") and singing with joy over her three Brit Award nominations.

There has been a Jo'Bro sized hole in the airwaves lately with Joe busy missing out on tv cameos and Kevin getting hitched. Luckily Nick went solo and we have the album ready for your listening pleasure.

We've been hearing about Nick's new band 'The Administration' for a while now and the album definitely delivers on the rumoured 'more adult' sound he was aiming for.

Working with members of Prince's old band the youngest brother has delivered a rock-pop disc sounding far older than his age would suggest.

So if you've ever wondered what one bro would sound like...

READ COMMENTS 2 COMMENTS Beyonce stumbles and tumbles... MusicFIX Blog by Jade Feb 9 2010 9:37AM

American Idol judges would have raved about Beyonce's performance after she managed to make an on-stage fall look like part of the show.

During her Brazilian concert last week, Beyonce's super-high stilettos got the better of her as she took a tumble mid-song.

Luckily for her and unluckily for the front row that could have got a piece of the star, she narrowly avoided falling off the stage and quickly regained her balance to continue belting out the song, 'Irreplaceable'.

This is the second fall of Beyonce's to become a YouTube sensation. The first was captured during a show three years ago in Orlando with the singer faceplanting down a flight of stairs.

Check out our gallery of the most embarrassing onstage blunders from the world's biggest stage stars. They'll never live down these babies!

READ COMMENTS 0 COMMENTS Justin Timberlake - not such a sexy blonde... MusicFIX Blog by Jade Feb 8 2010 11:54AM

Justin Timberlake looked a little too comfortable in the blonde wig he wore last week to accept his 'Hasty Pudding Man of the Year' award from Harvard University.

Organisers said Timberlake was a "triple threat". "He sings, he dances and he goes straight to DVD," they said. The annual award is given to entertainers who have "made a lasting contribution to the world of entertainment".

JT also endured a roasting of people from his past including spoof versions of Madonna, 'N Sync and a fat-suited, pigtail-wearing Britney Spears.

But the 'Sexyback' singer, accompanied by girlfriend Jessica Biel (so much for the bust-up rumours), said the silver pudding pot prize was "cooler than a Grammy or Emmy". READ COMMENTS 0 COMMENTS
