 Slade told "Rock Hard France" in June 2001 that he was so disappointed and disgusted that he did not touch his drum kit for three years.Slade would eventually rejoin the band for their performance at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards Ceremony and the 2015 Rock or Bust World Tour following Rudd's legal issues involving illegal drug possession and threatening to kill his former personal assistant, both of which forced him out of the band a second time.
