Live lost one of its members following Chad Taylor's recent axing.
Live offered good and bad news to fans who have been waiting for their highly-anticipated comeback after Ed Kowalczyk's return in 2016.
However, it will no longer perform again with the original members as Taylor was recently fired from the group.
In a new Instagram post, Kowalczyk responded to a fan asking why he had not released solo music in the past years. The frontman expressed how he had been dying to perform again. However, he revealed that it was not possible at all because of the situation with Live.
"The three other original members are not speaking to each other - and I am stuck in the middle - and if I try to go solo, there is a good chance they will sue me again - so I have to do what's best for me and my family and try to stay out of litigation by not performing in public at all," he said.
Kowalczyk hoped that things would change. While waiting, he promised to lay low to help the members mend on their own.
However, things changed after that as the singer announced on June 21 that Taylor - the band's guitarist - was fired. It ended the guitarist's stint with the band which started in 1984 in York, Pennsylvania.
With that, fans assumed that the guitarist's exit had something to do with the internal issues Kowalczyk mentioned online.
Live's Mudslinging Worsened?
Before Taylor ended his stint with Live, he and Kowalczyk appeared in an interview with Rolling Stone a year after the singer's return.
At that time, they discussed the allegations against the members, including Kowalczyk's trademark infringement and his unreasonable lead singer bonus before the 2009 Live festival performance.
According to Taylor, they needed to split a decade ago as members wanted a break from their band-centric lives.

"What's intriguing is the process of remembering - literally remembering to remember this incredible body of work we created, and also the friendship, the driving in vans and tour buses, the almost insurmountable volume of laughter and fun that we experienced together. That's what draws you back in," he went on.
As for the mudslinging they went through, Kowalczyk said that they let the time heal old wounds and remembered good things instead.
But after fixing things, they ultimately lost Taylor for good.
