In a 1998 Chris Welch interview, Fox talks of the Gang’s final years and the breakup: “It became a quest to find a suitable replacement for Joe Walsh. We’d try some guys and do an album or two, but it wasn’t quite what we wanted and so we’d move on to something else in the hope of recapturing the old spirit. Some of the albums were good but we were always looking to find that particular thing we had with Joe and I don’t think we ever found it again. So, after all those changes, Dale and I just talked one day and said ‘Enough’s enough’. That’s when we decided to let it go. I never aspired to start another band. Instead I decided to take six months off and see what happened. If John Lennon called I’d see about it. That was my attitude. I wasn’t looking to start up again.”
