Banali was forced to sit out several Quiet Riot shows throughout 2019 as he was receiving treatment for stage-IV pancreatic cancer , though he did not reveal his diagnosis until October of that year. He was replaced by either former Type O Negative drummer Johnny Kelly or former W.A.S.P. drummer Mike Dupke depending on each drummer’s availability. In September 2019, Durbin quit the band to “follow his own path” according to Banali, and Pearl was rehired as the lead vocalist. Two months later, Quiet Riot’s fourteenth studio album, and second and last to feature Durbin, Hollywood Cowboys , was released.
