That's a good question. Although from what i heard, her personal life around that time was such a ****show that i wonder if she even gave a hoot what was going on with L&S. she was still drinking *a lot* during this period, even though they tried to make it sound like they'd all sobered up. that was BS. John was also drinking out the wazoo on that tour and was still completely enamored with her, and in a way she always loved that, but he could also get carried away...and on the road this was hard. (and was also why JC told George Hawkins he might be called in as the back-up bassist, just in case...because that situation was a little tricky.) Whatever was going on w L&S may have been the least of her worries lol


I think she was just tired, stressed, and thought her big move back to england was the last shot to save her crappy marriage. ed was making her life difficult, and she found out about his betrayal with a person very close to her during the dance tour... that whole mess probably made her give even fewer f*cks about staying with the band and continuing the tour or making an album etc. it seems like she was just done. period.
