In a 2025 interview with The Canadian Press for Sum 41’s final Canadian tour dates, McCaslin and Baksh said they learned of the group’s disbandment through an email sent by Whibley to all of the members in early 2023. Both said they were shocked and it took each of them speaking directly with Whibley by phone to understand the decision. Whibley described years of finding excuses to keep Sum 41 together and only reaching certainty on his decision to break up the band after returning to a tour life after the COVID-19 pandemic closures.
