Former COAL CHAMBER bassist Rayna Foss is not missing after all, according to her daughter.
New Orleans police reported that the 51-year-old Foss was reported missing by her group home manager after last being seen on September 7, 2021.
One day after the news of Rayna‘s apparent disappearance was reported by the rock music media, her 22-year-old daughter Kayla — whose father is Foss‘s former husband, SEVENDUST drummer Morgan Rose — released the following statement via her Instagram account: “To everyone that has reached out in some way and to the media that has been reporting on this: 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.
“I’ve also seen other stories about Dez [Fafara, COAL CHAMBER frontman] — my mother’s old singer — and a feud with my father Morgan. These are also false. My dad and Dez are friends and have been for a long time.
“I’m confused where all of this started from, but it can stop now.
“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.”
A founding member of COAL CHAMBER, Foss was in the band from 1994 until 1999 and returned to the group briefly in the early 2000s. She played on COAL CHAMBER‘s 1997 debut album, the 1999 follow-up Chamber Music and 2002’s Dark Days.
