I have tried with the following:

# vgreduce --force vg_hosting /dev/sdc1 Physical volume "/dev/sdc1" still in use
Next time, try "vgreduce --removemissing <VG>" first.
In my experience, any lvm command using --force often has undesirable side effects.
Regarding getting the lvm functioning again, there is also a --partial option that is sometimes useful with the various vg* commands with a missing PV (see man lvm).
And "vgdisplay -v" often regenerates missing metadata (as in getting a functioning lvm back).
