An American tour was initiated early in 2013, with a European tour scheduled for the fall of that year. However, these plans were curtailed when Steven Adler entered rehabilitation in May 2013, and the band entered hiatus. The band returned to active service in 2015, undertaking a US tour in the summer of that year. In 2016 the band performed at the M3 and the Monsters of Rock West Coast Cruise. These proved to be the band's last performances however, as in February 2017 Steven Adler revealed that the band had dissolved as a result of his disinterest in performing concerts with low attendances. In 2018 Steven Adler reformed his old band Adler's Appetite with a new lineup.
