As the band entered 2016, Cain felt the future for the group was bright: “We’re not done yet. I think we got more music in us,” he told Substream Magazine in January 2016. Two months later, however, the band announced their break-up with a statement that read, in part: “We have no idea what the future holds, but for now we are done.” In interviews later that year, Pierre detailed the band’s reasoning, noting that their exhaustion with touring and growing families contributed to their decision: “We’ve done this one thing constantly for so many years nonstop. We all wanted to have something else to look ahead to in our lives.” The band embarked on the So Long, Farewell Tour across North America between May and September 2016, with original drummer Tony Thaxton returning. It concluded with a sold-out show at the Metro in Chicago on September 18, 2016.
