Janet gardner of vixen what's she doing now?

I also can't seem to find any current updates on her. She is definitely still alive though, since I am sure if she were not, it would have come up online quite quickly.

It has been widely reported that Janet married Bruce Payne who is or was the manager of the group "Deep Purple."  (Vixen had toured with "Deep Purple" back in the 90s.)  They reportedly live in Connecticut.  Janet reportedly could not come to a contractual agreement to do a "Vixen" reunion and was replaced in the band by a different singer.  There was an unverified report that she was working as a dental hygienist in Connecticut.

Bruce Payne lost a case of sexual harrassment; in June 2000 was ordered to pay $45,473.00 USD.  

The harassement case was based on a period of time between 1992-1997; during the time he was engaged to Janet Gardner.

Janet deserves better - she should go back to singing:

let her talent live&breathe instead of living the life of housewife w/ sexist person!

Hey, Janet Gardner here. A friend of my brother ran across this, and thought I should answer your question. First, I want to thank you for the kind words and support. It's people like you who make me really miss singing!!!! Yes, I am alive and well. No, I did not marry Bruce Payne. I am happily married to Andy Katz, who I met during the recording of the "Tangerine" CD. He engineered part of that CD (He's in the credits), and he is also an amazing guitarist. We have a five year old son named Ryan. I graduated from the University of Bridgeport in 2005 with a degree in Dental Hygiene (It was interesting to discover that that half of my brain actually still works!), and I practice DH 3 days a week in CT (My son keeps me busy the rest of the time). My hubby and I have been tossing some musical ideas around, and as soon as we finish some of it, we'll put up a myspace page or something so anyone who is interested can hear it. I am very happy, but the music has been missing far too long for both me and my husband, so we're going to get back to it! Vixen?...most likely never again, however, I would work with Roxy, Share or Gina any day of the week! Still love 'em, and they're some of the most talented musicians on the planet. Thanks again for the support, and I miss you guys! TC, Janet (This is really me, not just some goofball pretending to be me)

Your music still makes me happy, as happy as it did back in the day. I do to School at Ct. Culinary Institute, I'll bring ya some pastries!
