"So I said, 'Here's how we should say it: If we say it's a break-up, then it looks really bad, and if we say it's a hiatus, people will think one day, we'll get back together.' But that's not how it was, or how it is now. We just wanted to protect the name of the band."

The reason for the band's discomfort was friction, which had been building for months as the group played to the biggest crowds of their careers.
