Lost 3 gears out of 8

Has anyone encountered this fault?
Bike was working fine, just finished a 40km ride and heading home and I couldn't select the 3 highest gears.
I just finished checking it out and I can't find anything wrong. I simply can't select the last 3 highest gears. I press the select and nothing happens.
I loosened the cable and now I can select the 3 highest gears but now I can't select the 3 lowest gears. I've left it like that for now because I need the 3 highest gears for tomorrows fast group ride.
Basically I seem to have lost the 8 gear range and now it's only a 5 gear range.
I hadn't hit anything or dropped the bike on the rear derauiller. It simply stopped selecting mid ride.
Everything is Shimano. Can anyone shed some light on this fault?
