Here is a very short bio page with picture.



Here's the story:



"SMiLE" Cellist Missing from Phuket. Brian Wilson Asks for Help.



Los Angeles, CA January 4, 2005 -- Markus Sandlund, one of the talented cellists from the Stockholm Strings and Horns who performed on Brian Wilson's album SMiLE, has been reported missing from Phuket, Thailand.



Markus Sandlund (born April 29, 1975) and his girlfriend, Sofi, traveled to Thailand after completing the SMiLE tour in Australia and New Zealand. They were vacationing at the Orchid Beach Resort at Khao Lak (room 112) when the Tsunami hit.



At the time of the tsunami they were at the pool. Sofi was swept away by the flood and was later rescued. She is now back home in Sweden where she is still hospitalized, recovering from injuries. She has not seen Markus since the wave hit.



"I have been devastated since I heard the news that Markus is missing in Thailand," said Wilson. "We have sent an agent to see what we can find out, but as of today we have been unable to locate Marcus in the area. If there is anyone out there who might know Markus' whereabouts please contact info@brianwilson.com. My prayers go out to all of the victims and their families and I would ask you to say a prayer for Markus' safe return."
