- There has been no formal breakup announcement, yet coverage widely interprets his remarks as indicating the group is effectively finished.
- Faith No More have been largely inactive since 2016 following 2015’s Sol Invictus, with their planned 2020 return halted by COVID-19.
- Keyboardist Roddy Bottum has said he does not expect a reunion, while drummer Mike Bordin explained 2021 shows were canceled because Patton was unable to perform at the time.
