US jazz star Peyroux 'disappears'

A record label has hired a private detective to trace jazz singer Madeleine Peyroux, whose album has been steadily climbing the charts. The US singer has failed to turn up for any promotional work, according to Universal Classics. It said this was not the first time she had vanished, spending seven years busking in Paris after the release of her debut album. Record bosses said "she is proving impossible to track down".
